MCAs affiliated to Jubilee Party want IG Joseph Boinnet to provide them with maximum security when they table Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero's impeachment motion.
Minority leader Abdi Guyo, deputy minority leader Ngaruiya Chege and minority whip Hashim Kamau said Kidero might
hire goons to attack them during the Tuesday afternoon session.
"Cord MCA's are currently in a Kamukunji, they are planning to boycott the session. Due to this we fear that goons will be hired to attack us, we ask the IG to ensure that we are protected," said Chege.
He said
Nyang'wara
will sit on the minority side in the chamber for protection.
The MCAs request for security follows a fight at the assembly last Thursday when ODM's Viwandani MCA Samson Nyang'wara stood to table the motion.
Chege, who is Kahawa West MCA, claimed Kidero paid Cord MCAs to disrupt the proceedings last week because he fears the grounds for his removal are genuine.
He noted the county's debt has increased from Sh12 billion to Sh42 billion since Kidero's election on March 4, 2013.
"We shall ensure the motion sails through at all costs," he said.
Nairobi county assembly speaker Alex Magelo the impeachment motion last Thursday.
It seeks Kidero's impeachment for allegedly violating the constitution and misappropriating funds.
After tabling, the will be taken to the House Business Committee that will allocate it time for debate by MCAs.
The committee chaired by the speaker has seven days, according to Standing Orders (House Rules), to allocate time for the motion to be debated.
The motion requires the support of a third of all members to be tabled. Nairobi county has 127 MCAs so it would take 87 MCAs to impeach Kidero.
At least 56 Cord and Jubilee MCAs signed the petition to remove the city boss from office.
