MCAa and MPs fighting for supremacy?


Where is the fuss coming from?
          Members of the County assembly(MCAs) and Members of parliament(MPs) have the same power and perform same functions.
            Therefore, the question of who is who between these two parties should be away from the minds of the Kenyans.
            The impeachment of Martin Wambora from the Embu gubernatorial seat should be taken positive, rather than facing fights from every corner.
            County governments are an ape of the national government. The functions of the president and members of parliament of the national government run parallel to those of the governors and MCAs at the county level.
            As a government on its own, MCAs from Embu, and all other counties have every right to impeach their “president” if things are not working well.
            It is also possible for the Members of parliament to impeach the sitting president, and since I mentioned earlier that functions at the national government run parallel to those at the county government, I see no reason as to why there should be a debate about who is who between the MPs and the MCAs.
            These two parties perform same functions, have same powers but at different levels.
            There should exist more Ibrahim Swales of Embu country spread all across the country, in every county government and even at the national level. No work, corruption? Direct impeachment.
            Kenya has always been known to be corrupt. Why complain again when one is impeached over allegations of corruption? Instead, serious investigations should take place quickly than the Kenyan way, to ascertain the allegations.
            Of course the members of parliament have powers at the national government, but when it comes to the county level, they are completely powerless to the MCAs.
            These supremacy fights should end and leaders should focus more on serious issues rather than fight to show their might.
