Kirinyaga Mcas pass a motion to abolish Governor Anne Waiguru’s Directorate of Liaison and Communications. They dismissed the directorate as a propaganda tool, saying it is not serving the interests of the residents and county government and unanimously endorsed the motion to disband it.
The Tebere Ward Representative Gudson Muchina moved the motion and urged his colleagues to support it. He told the house that, the staff attached to the directorate usually attack MCAs on social media over their oversight role instead of focusing on development issues of the region.
David Mathenge, Baragwi MCA echoed Mr Muchina’s sentiments, insisting that there was no need of having such a directorate. “The directorate is incompetent and it should be disbanded and the staff working there sent packing,” said Mr Mathenge.
Caroline Muriithi, nominated said, she and her colleagues were unhappy with the directorate which was established through the assembly, accusing it of engaging in retrogressive politics.
As the motion was passed, the assembly directed the County Public Service Board to present a formal proposal in the House for its abolishment.
