Meru MCAs gang up against Governor Mwangaza, accuse her of pride, arrogance
Meru MCAs on Tuesday staged a protest outside the House chambers, calling out the county boss for being arrogant.
The MCAs, led by Speaker Ayub Bundi, paused House business to discuss their relationship with the governor and resolved to confront her.
The ward representatives accuse her of being impolite and not giving them an audience. They claim they have failed to create a proper working relationship with the executive.
“The MCAs have agreed that they are not ready to listen to the governor during the address set for this afternoon,” said Bundi.
Evans Mawira, the Meru Assembly’s Majority Leader, stated his frequent calls and texts to try to set up a meeting had gone unanswered.
Mwangaza is due to officially open the county assembly today, Wednesday, October 19, but MCAs have pledged to boycott after the governor failed to meet them on several occasions.
She stated on her official Facebook page that leadership is not for cowards. She insisted that the county assembly will convene as scheduled.
“Leadership is all about others. Tupatane tomorrow. (Let us meet tomorrow),” Mwangaza said.
She also shared the Meru County Assembly Standing Order No.13 as read together with Standing Order No. 21 (1). “It is notified for the information of MCAs of Meru and the general public that the Opening of the Third County Assembly and address by Kawira Mwangaza, Governor of Meru County, shall be on Wednesday, October 19 2022, at 2.00 PM at the County Assembly Chamber, County Assembly of Meru Building, Meru,” she said.
Mwangaza told a local radio station on Wednesday that she will not be intimidated by anyone and that she will not sit in the office to listen to the MCAs because she needs to be with the people who voted for her.
