The Clerk of the County Assembly of Machakos. Mr Joseph Mutisya was on Tuesday suspended for 14 days.
The action was the outcome of a County Assembly Service Board session that was chaired by Machakos County Assembly Speaker Mrs. Anne Kiusya. The meeting is said to have had full attendance including two members of the County Assembly and two external representatives.
Mutisya was served with a letter that asked him to provide a response to at least three grave accusations that sources say may culminate in criminal charges.
The sources say Mutisya is accused of, among other issues altering county legislation on budgets in connivance with the county's Finance. The source said " He is seen as solely acting as the entire County Assembly". Further charges include failing to implement assembly decisions actions and exhibiting general incompetence.
The board appointed his deputy Mr Dennis Mutwii to act as clerk during that period.
