What you need to know:

  • The county ministers were sworn in on Monday by Chief Magistrate Alfred Kibiru.
  • MCAs said the process of appointing the executives was still in the assembly.
  • Dr Mutua said his actions were necessitated by the assembly's failure to debate on the report.

Machakos MCAs have faulted Governor Alfred Mutua for appointing into office executive committee members without the approval of the county assembly.

The county ministers were sworn in on Monday by Chief Magistrate Alfred Kibiru at the governor's office though the county assembly had not made a decision on their suitability.
