Governor Kawira Mwangaza says her administration will not be coward by the pressure from external forces
She disclosed that MCAs wants Sh 5 bribe in order to conduct vetting exercise for the County Executive Committee Members
She vowed to remain unbowed albeit powerful senior politicians who have started choreographing for her downfall
Meru County Governor Bishop Kawira Mwangaza has accused Members of County Assembly for demanding bribes to vet and approve County Executive Committee Members
In a dramatic address on Wednesday 19th, October, Mwangaza told MCAs frankly that she will not bow to their pressure of giving them public funds in order to do their legislative responsibilities
It was evident that the MCAs have already opened a new battlefront with the governor who was elected on an Independent ticket by suspending House business to discuss their relationship with the governor and resolved to call her out
“I know you are being used by senior politicians to undermine my work, I will not mention their names, but honest be told, will not give you the amount you are demanding Sh 5 million in order to sit and vet County Executive Committee Members, that will not happen in my leadership,’’ Mwangaza revealed.
She further said that those trying to bully her leadership will end up losing the battlefield since she was elected by the majority of Meru votes and she speaks for the interests of the people, not few greedy politicians
This happened when MCAs stormed out her first county assembly addressing claiming that their Governor has been disrespecting them since she was elected
“We have been requesting to meet Her Excellency, but she always says she’s busy, we have also requested to meet her before this county, she declined, we want to show her that we still have other methods of demanding her audience,’’ angry MCAs vowed.
They also accused Ms Mwangaza of coming into the county offices accompanied by her husband Murega Baichu whom they termed as a threat to their ‘freedom’ of blending well with their governor
Kawira was expected to officially open the third County Assembly today on the afternoon. However, according to Meru County Assembly Speaker Ayub Bundi is that there are serious issues which needs to be addressed claiming that the governor is running government without involving the county lawmakers
In their admission, claimed to impeach her should she not review her leadership style of ‘conduct’ which is angering them
They [MCAs] were also furious when Mwangaza appointed her husband to be the Meru Youth Service Patron and Hustler’s ambassaddour during the unveiling of her cabinet despite of defending that position that, “the office holder will be more of volunteer services and will not be paid nor compensated,” She stated on 1st October, 2022.
