Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has fired Majority Leader Abdi Guyo, accusing him of undermining the county government through intimidation, interference, and cajoling of staff.
The letter, dated October 4, 2019, was copied to Jubilee Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju and Assembly Speaker Beatrice Elachi.
Sonko claimed that Guyo's actions have made it difficult to implement Jubilee's manifesto at the county government.
“Consequently, am forwarding to you the name of Mark Ndung’u as the new majority leader designate. Kindly effect appropriately,” said Mr Sonko in the letter.
It remains unclear if a Governor has the legal backing to change leadership in the assembly or if Mr Tuju will endorse the change.
