Led by Majority Leader Nicholas Nzioka, the legislators camped outside the Clerk\u2019s office in a day-long standoff, demanding the motion be included in the order paper. The newly installed Clerk, a loyalist handpicked by Kiusya through the backdoor to safeguard her interests, reportedly tried to stonewall the process. But the relentless and united MCAs bulldozed his resistance, forcing him to obey the law and admit the motion \u2014 officially firing the opening salvo in what promises to be Kiusya\u2019s political endgame.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4572\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563123822-300x235.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563123822-300x235.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563123822-768x601.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563123822.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4573\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563089197-300x259.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563089197-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563089197.jpg 543w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Kiusya, long accused of turning the Assembly into her personal fortress, now faces an avalanche of damning allegations. The MCAs charge her with gross mismanagement of public resources, corruption, and nepotism, pointing to a controversial London trip she allegedly funded using Assembly money for her relatives instead of elected members. They further accuse her of incompetence, arrogance, and betrayal, branding her a \u201cUDA mole in Wiper\u201d working against the very party that elevated her to the Speaker\u2019s chair. Her critics insist she has weaponized her position to hold Machakos hostage for her personal survival while undermining the Assembly\u2019s integrity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The MCAs are demanding Kiusya immediately vacate her office to avoid influencing proceedings, as her deputy prepares to preside over the impeachment process. This comes just days after the High Court vacated interim orders that had temporarily shielded her from removal. The court\u2019s decision effectively dismantled her last line of defense, slamming shut what MCAs described as her \u201chide-and-seek\u201d judicial tactics. For Kiusya, who had openly boasted of her legal prowess as a shield against impeachment, the ruling was a bitter pill \u2014 confirming that not even the courts can delay the inevitable tide against her.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4562\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758140262947-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758140262947-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758140262947-1024x1025.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758140262947-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758140262947-768x769.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758140262947.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the ground, Machakos residents are rallying behind the MCAs, demanding the Speaker\u2019s ouster as a warning shot to leaders who prioritize personal gain over service. Many are now openly daring Kiusya to quit Wiper and officially join President William Ruto\u2019s camp, where her loyalty has long been suspected to lie. The message from Machakos is blunt: leadership is about service and loyalty to the people, not self-preservation or political double-dealing. For Speaker Anne Kiusya, the writing is on the wall and it reads impeachment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4574\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563073885-300x297.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563073885-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563073885-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563073885.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4575\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563089197-1-300x259.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563089197-1-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758563089197-1.jpg 543w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Machakos County Assembly has erupted into political flames after Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) today launched a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4576,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758564383002.jpg",1080,1075,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758564383002-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758564383002-300x300.jpg",300,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758564383002-768x764.jpg",640,637,true],"large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758564383002-1024x1019.jpg",640,637,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758564383002.jpg",1080,1075,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758564383002.jpg",1080,1075,false],"morenews-featured":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758564383002-1024x1019.jpg",1024,1019,true],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758564383002-825x575.jpg",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758564383002-590x410.jpg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Kambaland Times","author_link":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/author\/kituitimes\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/category\/politics\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Politics<\/a>","tag_info":"Politics","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4571"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4578,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4571\/revisions\/4578"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
