Nyamira County Assembly was yesterday turned into a boxing ring when ward representatives exchanged blows after failing to agree on the House business.
Shouts and whistle sounds rent the air as chaos unfolded on the floor of the assembly.
The Members of County Assembly (MCAs) had differed on the order of business to be debated, with some feeling that there was no transparency on certain issues.
Bomwagamo Ward Rep Charles Barongo protested that the day’s Order Paper was not circulated in time, yet it contained contentious issues which had caused divisions among them last week.

The MCAs exchanged blows and kicks after disagreeing over the introduction of a new name in the Committee of Appointments report.
An earlier report from Nyamira governor Amos Nyaribo had featured four names with a promise that the fifth nominee would be confirmed later.
The committee later settled on all five names, with the fifth nominee scheduled for later vetting.
