Murang'a County Assembly members have come out gun blazing maintaining that they are not funded or being influenced by external forces in their decision making in the running of the County Assembly.
While reacting to a story on KK ONLINE NEWS, the MCAs said they are not fools to be funded by an external forces saying they changed the Assembly leadership since those who have been holding the positions have not lived to their mandate of representing them fully.
When goons attacked two MCAs and a Jubilee Party at a Sahara hotel in Nairobi {not Kiambu as widely reported by several media houses}a Jubilee party official Mr Charles Njoroge Wamuthoni mentioned PS Irungu Nyakera in connection in the infightings.
However the newly elected Majority leader and Kimorori Wempa Ward MCA Amos Murigi has rubbished the claims saying they are not children to be arm-twisted by an outsider.\
"The claims are unfounded and baseless, why on earth could someone who does not sit in the Assembly want to control the members because of 2022 politics when even the member will be busy seeking their re-election and some of them seeking for bigger offices?, Mr Murigi wondered describing the assumptions as myopic and childish.
The former Kenya National Union of Teachers official maintained that they had 10 reasons for voting out Mr Kamande and the Chief Whip Mr Wamwea saying that other sideshows are only meant to divert the attention.
"The outgoing majority leader mis-adivsed the house during the vetting of County Executive Committee members, he also did not lead members of the Assembly to campaign for the reelection of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
"Why cant those talking of external forces seek the document containing the reasons behind the change of leadership other than giving false information? Mr Murigi said.
The leader said the Assembly will continue discharging its mandate paying less attention to the sideshows to destabilize and divide the members saying they will remain united no matter the circumstances.
He said despite being elected as the majority leader he has never met the PS in person and maintained that those dragging his name only want to confuse the electorates, incite them so that they may loose trust for them.

REVEALED: SPONSORS OF MURANG’A WARS UNMASKED
FACEBOOK: KK ONLINE
NEWS
Murang'a County Assembly have been having wrangles since
November last year, when they stormed the clerk's office with an aim of
evicting him and recently when a faction hired goons to fight two of them and a Jubilee party official.
If you thought they were genuine you are
absolutely wrong.
They stormed Mr Chris Kinyanjui's office with hammers and
crude weapons chanting 'Kinyanjui must go' slogans accusing the soft spoken
lawyer of underfunding them during the inter-counties games at Machakos County.
They also accused Mr Kinyanjui for purchasing low quality
uniforms.
Although they rubbished the claims, the recent turn of events
where the Assembly leadership was changed, tells it all that there are serious issues
in the Second Assembly and that the drama in the clerk’s office was just but a
sideshow.
According to a member of County Assembly who requested
anonymity, the members targeted the Speaker and only used the clerk as
sacrificial lamb.
The Speaker and the leadership of the Assembly including
Majority Leader Erick Kamande, Chief Whip Simon Wamwea has been labeled as
Governor Mwangi wa Iria's foot soldiers.
"Soon after we reported to the Assembly, a senior
official in Jubilee Government called us the meeting and said he wanted to
enlighten us on devolution matters.
"We were advised that for the Assembly to run
effectively, the leadership should not be ardent supporters of the County executive,"
the MCA told KK Online News.
The Assembly leadership as currently constituted could not
agree to be used by external forces to spearhead 'selling the name of the new
leader' to the electorates due to their allegiance to the governor hence the
idea of replacing the office holders.
The move is seen as a strategy by the said official to position
himself in 2022 politics as well as bringing down the governor who is also said
to be preparing to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta in Mt Kenya politics to
suppress his popularity.
The scheme would kill two doves with one stone, change the
leadership to get the central line of command to popularize the financier in
respective Wards and public meetings as well as getting the leaders who would
stand with MCAs to advocate for allowances.
According to the game plan, the members will also impeach the
Speaker and replace him with Mr Simon Gikuru who was an Aspirant in race for
the Speaker but was locked out since his proposers did not participate in the
election due to the fact that there was an ongoing case challenging their nomination
Members affiliated to Mr Iria could not stomach the alleged game
plan prompting them to do all what they can to defend and protect their master.
On January 5 goons attacked the MCAs who support Mr Iria and
who opposed replacement of the Assembly leadership saying there were no grounds
for replacing them.
"No one has filed a petition challenging the leadership
of the majority leader and the Chief Whip, they only changed them to appease
their masters," Mr Nahashon Gachuhi, one of the MCAs who was assaulted
said.
He said when he questioned the process, goons descended on
him with stones kicks and blows and left him for dead.
The external forces have caused the Presidential party in
Murang'a to split into two, one side supporting the governor while the other
opposing him.
Charles Muthoni, a Jubilee party chairperson for Kigumo
Constituency who was also assaulted said he opposed the negative influence by
the external forces leading to a thorough beating to an extent of screaming.
"We must guard our integrity, no one should give party
officials money so that we forget to safeguard the party's constitution and
regulations," he said.
Mr Njoroge has accused Principal Secretary for Planning and
Devolution Irungu Nyakera in connection with the infightings.
"This is not a small fight, Mr Nyakera wants to take
over the leadership of Murang'a County and even spearhead the impeachment of
the governor come next year," Mr Njoroge claimed.
He said Mr Nyakera wants to be the next governor as well as
the Murang'a kingpin hence the reason why he wants to control the house so that
come 2022 Mr Iria will not be a king maker and will not be in power to
determine the next governor.
Mr Nyakera’s sister Wambui Nyakera has been elected the new
Chief Whip replacing Mr Wamwea.
Mr Nyakera was not available for a comment.

SHOCK: MURANGA MP LEAVES SPOUSE FEW MONTHS AFTER BEING ELECTED
BY KK ONLINE EDITOR
FACEBOOK PAGE KK ONLINE
A Jubilee MP in Murang’a County is contemplating to separate
with the spouse few months after tasting the tittle “Mheshimiwa” and wants to live
a free life.
The politician who has been in the marriage for
over 20 years decided to call it quit after realizing that the marriage is
occupying most of the time that the MP would be interacting with his
fellow honorable members in late night meetings and joints.
According to a source, a friend of Mheshimiwa, who sought
anonymity the MP has since shifted to Nairobi to show the seriousness for
separation.
“The MP is now living in Nairobi to express the seriousness of
separating, we have information that the freedom-seeking legislator will file a
divorce soon but silently,” the informer told KK Online News.
The relocation of the MP to Nairobi County has paralyzed the
operations of the Constituency office since the MP who is supposed to be giving
instructions and directions in the running of the Constituency.
The MP has also disconnected the communication with the
electorates for fear of being asked about her ailing marriage.
“I have been trying to reach my MP to assist in needy cases
for the students who are joining form one but I don’t get reply, we used to be
good friends and we could communicate about three days per week,” another
source told KK Online News.
Another area of concern is the election of the Project
Management Committees PMC where the MP has remained mum about it.
Locals are now wondering whether there will be service delivery
for a period of five years.
They are now asking the MP to get back to them and start
working citing divorce and separation has been in existence since Demi and Mathathi.
“Some of separated a long time ago and the MP should not worry
although we know money matters and feeling superior has greatly contributed to
domestic issues, all what we need is service delivery,” a voter in the County
said.
KK Online will be getting the MP’s version and we shall
publish it in due time.

WHY GITUGI ORPHANS WILL LIVE TO REMEMBER THIS MONTH DECEMBER
Over 50 orphans from Faranja Children Home at Gitugi Ward in Murang’a County
got a rare chance to celebrate Christmas in a feast organized by a well-wisher.
The orphans, guardians and villagers danced and made merry after receiving a donation in the event organized by Mr Samuel Mwangi popularly known as Kifeeti, a resident and a Gitugi politician.
The orphans who mostly live in the children home also got a rare chance to be narrated tales and motivational stories by Kifeeti's friends, something most of them had never experienced before.
Kifeeti said he organized the feast to give the orphans a chance to celebrate Christmas like other children as well as giving the orphans a sense of belonging and acceptance.
He said he chose to spend time with the orphans at the expense of using his money at the clubs with sly queens and friends to drink beer and smoking the banned Shisha.
“I know that most of my age mates who have money spend their money clubs and bars to buy beer and wines while others go up and down day and night to spend their money but i chose to spend time with these children to give them hope and a sense of acceptance," Kifeeti told KK online news.
She said such events give hope to orphans and help them to feel as part of the society in spite of their challenges.
Sh 160,000 was used in the fanfare event.
He said he got the money from friends, well-wishers and government officials announcing that he would also visit Imani Children Home on January 1st to hold the end of year party.
Mr Kifeeti is known for his closeness to Governor Mwangi wa Iria and pundits say chances are high that he could be selected to be Giugi's Ward administrator.
