Updated: 11.08.2020
Nairobi County Assembly Speaker Beatrice Elachi has resigned.
The surprise move comes after months of wrangles at the Assembly that saw MCAs divided into factions, with some in her support and a majority opposed to her leadership.
While announcing her resignation, Ms Elachi cited threats to her life and that of her family among the reasons for stepping down.
“Governor Sonko, you cannot go on threatening people’s lives and their families. You also have a family. You cannot have everything, just nurture what God has given you,” she said in a statement.
Ruai Ward MCA John Kamangu, who is also the deputy speaker, takes over as Acting Speaker until a new substantive speaker is elected.
She blamed power tussles, frustrations and interference from Governor Mike Sonko for her resignation.
“I humbly tender my resignation. And in line with the law, I appoint John Kamangu to take over as Acting Speaker and also chair of the Assembly’s board until the recruitment of a new speaker,” she said.
