The clerk, who is the chief accounting officer of the assembly, is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the assembly.
His ejection now risks grinding to a halt payment of salaries of county staff, the MCAs and ward office staff.
Mr Ngwele has not been seeing eye-to-eye with Ms Elachi since her return.
A crisis is looming at the Nairobi County Assembly with critical services facing total paralysis after MCAs kicked out Clerk Jacob Ngwele.
This comes after the ward representatives, in a motion of privilege on Tuesday, revoked the appointment of Mr Ngwele as the assembly’s clerk on grounds of gross violation of Section 18(2) of the County Assembly Services Act.
