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.
