Nairobi County Assembly will resume its regular sittings two weeks from today, on October 29, 2019, after being suspended indefinitely last week by Speaker Beatrice Elachi.
According to a Gazette notice, the regular plenary will resume at 2:30pm in accordance with the assembly's calendar.
The decision comes after Speaker Elachi adjourned the regular sittings indefinitely last week following chaos witnessed at the assembly where rival MCAs clashed, leading to damage of assembly properties.
Speaker Elachi said she took the decision to give time for normalcy to return at the assembly before allowing for the sittings to resume.
However, a rival faction of ward representatives opposed to her return as the Speaker has dismissed the adjournment, terming it unprocedural and vowing to defy it.
Majority Leader Abdi Guyo said that they will only resume sittings called by the acting Speaker Chege Mwaura, adding that they still have a number of grievances that must be sorted out by Jubilee Party if they are to work together with Ms Elachi.
