There was chaos at the Nyandarua County Assembly on Tuesday afternoon after a group of men wearing black suits stormed the chambers and tried to steal the Speaker s Mace.
The raid is reported to have occurred barely two hours after MCAs unanimously passed the Constitution Amendment Bill 2020.
The group of five heavily -built men are said to have tried to take away the mace leading to a fistfight between two factions allied to impeached Speaker Ndegwa Wahome and Governor Francis Kimemia.
MCAs allied to Wahome did not take kindly the court ruling that confirmed his impeachment hence tried to stop the assembly’s proceedings by hiring the men in black.
