Two impeachment motions have been filed against Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero and Speaker Alex Ole Magelo.

The motions were drafted after reaching the required number of signatures required.

The impeachment motions will be brought to the Nairobi County Assembly in two weeks as the House breaks for recess on Thursday.

A Cord Member of County Assembly (MCA)from Viwandani Ward, Samwel Nyangwara, sponsored the motion against Dr Kidero.

He said the impeachment is mainly because the governor “has violated the Constitution ever since we joined the assembly”.

“We have been passing budget and have not seen anything happening in our wards, there are no tangible projects by the county government."

Mr Nyangwara also said Dr Kidero had failed to implement the Ward Development Fund.
