What you need to know:

  • Fist fights, running battles with the police, name calling and destruction of the assembly property have become the order of the day.
  •  Clouds of teargas around the assembly, hired goons by either parties, threats of impeachment and legal battles have hampered service delivery.


Nyamira County Assembly has turned into a battle ground. Ward representatives often fight each other over leadership positions.

On Thursday morning, residents lit bonfires on roads leading to the assembly. They were demanding that the House operations be suspended until order is restored.  The protesters were later dispersed by the police.
