Chaos Erupts Again: Nyamira MCAs and Police Officers Clash, “Maendeleo Zero, Fights Top!
Drama unfolded today at the Nyamira County Assembly after a fierce confrontation between Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) and police officers. The scene, which resembled more of a wrestling ring than a legislative house, saw tensions boil over when police officers arrived to inspect the assembly’s mesh—a move that sparked outrage among the MCAs.
The MCAs, still fuming from a heated altercation just last week at the assembly, viewed the police’s presence as an intrusion. What began as a routine inspection quickly turned into a chaotic situation, with shouting matches escalating into physical confrontations. Witnesses reported seeing chairs flying and tempers flaring as both sides refused to back down.
The police commander, speaking after the incident, defended the officers’ actions, stating that their intention was simply to ensure that the assembly’s structure was safe following last week’s fight. “We were just checking the mesh, nothing more,” the commander said, urging the MCAs to maintain calm. However, he acknowledged that the situation spiraled out of control, with both sides failing to de-escalate the tensions.
After the brawl, MCAs expressed their frustrations, accusing the police of overstepping their mandate. “Why are we always being checked like we are criminals? We need to focus on development, not daily inspections!” one MCA fumed.
In response, the police commander reassured them, saying, “Our job is not to interfere with their operations but to ensure safety.” Despite his calming words, it was clear that the MCAs were far from satisfied.
Residents, watching the spectacle from a distance, couldn’t help but remark on the situation. “Maendeleo zero, lakini fights zimepanda juu kabisa!” one local quipped. It seems that while development projects remain stagnant, political drama in Nyamira is thriving.
