Nakuru
county executive for Lands Rachael Maina is facing impeachment on grounds of
alleged stubbornness, non performance and corruption charges among other
claims.
The
Nakuru assembly has thus found itself on a collision course after its Biashara
ward representative Stephen Kuria recently gave notice of a motion for the
removal of the county executive for lands.
While
giving the notice on the floor of the house, Kuria said that the county’s land
executive is incompetent at her work and should be relinquished of the post she
holds.
Kuria
also claimed that he had met the one third threshold of collecting signatures
required to impeach the county executive before tabling the motion of no confidence
on her leadership as enshrined in Chapter Six of the constitution.
Nakuru
county assembly speaker Susan Kihika is said to have appointed a committee of
five MCAs to look into the allegations levelled against Maina and come up with
a report of its findings.
Impeccable
sources aver that the speaker’s team on the Rachael impeachment initiative is
composed of the county MCAs Paul Chebor of Solai ward Peter Nderitu Bahati ward
and Jonathan Warothe of Naivasha’s Hell’s Gate ward.
Others
in the team are nominated MCA Irene Paul and the Murindati ward representative
to the county Monica Gitau.
The
embattled executive will know her fate shortly when the special house session
looking into the findings of the house team report is expected to have been
debated and adopted for her to know her fate.
Speaking
to Weekly Citizen, one of the county MCAs said they have been complaining about
the lands executive for long time without any change in service delivery in her
docket.
“We
have in the past complained about her conduct given that she is fond of accompanying
the governor to his functions rather than use her 26 years experience
serving the public and more so, her arrogance,” said an MCA who sought
anonymity.
Rachael
could be now battling for the survival
of her career at the Nakuru county as almost all MCAs were of the opinion that
she should vacate the office.
Kihika
confirmed to have formed the team of MCAs to probe the officer with a view to
tabling its findings to the house for deliberation.
Efforts
to reach Rachael for comment were futile as she declined to answer our phone
calls and respond to our text messages.
Elsewhere,
Nakuru county executive for health and medical services was sworn in last week
after a long wait from the county residents.
This
has come after pressure from a civil society group mounted on the Nakuru
county’s public service board to fill vacant county governance and
administrative positions.
