A section of Machakos MCAs opposed to Governor Wavinya Ndeti have been removed from County Assembly committees.
A communique from the Majority Leader Mr Nicholas Nzioka showed recently assaulted MCA Boniface Maeke was removed from 5 of the 11 committees.
The reconstitution of assembly committees is a routine procedural matter but it also provides the majority side to shove those it deems to be unduly critical to the government.
Mua Ward MCA Francis Ngunga termed the move by the Majority leader and the deputy speaker as unwise noting that political differences should not be brought into the house and MCAs being moved from committees as a way of punishing MCAs.
