The legislators have been using a multi-purpose hall as they awaited for the completion of renovations in their chambers that had been delayed since they were sworn in into office
“We have suffered for long. We do not understand why there are other construction works taking place within the assembly precincts while renovation of the chamber that started a year ago, has stalled,” Hon. George Kiere ,MCA Kihingo ward complained.
The elected Members of County Assembly said they cannot efficiently perform their duties on plastic chairs. They need to be comfortable as they work for their electorates.
“The relationship between the Office of the Clerk and MCAs has been frosty. The house liaison committee has failed to issue an explanation,” explained the Leader of Minority Peter Palang’a. He also added that the renovations had taken more that a year without any explanations about the delays.
MCA, Keringet Ward said, it was embarrassing for leader of the wards and visitors to conduct their meetings sitting on plastic chairs.
I'm worried that leaders are complaining about getting comfortable seats while there are bigger issues to worry about in our country.
Earlier they had vowed not to attend the meeting until they were talked to by assembly leaders and decided to converge and carry on with the meeting but while standing.
This is ridiculous especially coming from leaders.
