Kitui East MP Nimrod Mbai Defends Speaker Kevin Kinengo Amid Impeachment Talks

By TCD Digital.

Kitui East MP Hon. Nimrod Mbai has strongly defended Kitui County Assembly Speaker Hon. Kevin Katisya Kinengo against a looming impeachment motion expected to be tabled in February 2024. Speaking in Chuluni during the colorful wedding ceremony of Chuluni MCA Hon. Mathew Ngovi Vuthi, Mbai declared that he will not stand by and allow Speaker Kinengo’s removal.

Mbai, known for his bold remarks, asserted that any attempts to impeach Speaker Kinengo would not succeed in Kitui County. “We are going to cause a generational change in Kitui County leadership. For those thinking of impeaching Speaker Kinengo, you will have to do the voting from another county or even space, but not from Kitui,” he stated during the event at Kanguu Primary School Grounds.

The vocal MP later reinforced his stance through a Facebook post, saying, “Just watch the space. Hate the game, don’t hate the player. Mbaya Mbaya, back to original settings.”

Wedding Celebrations

The event brought together key leaders and dignitaries from Kitui County who gathered to celebrate the union of Hon. Mathew Ngovi Vuthi and his wife, Ann. The wedding, held at Kanguu Primary School Grounds, was a colorful and joyous occasion attended by a host of political and community leaders.

Among those present were:

Hon. Harrison Maluki (MCA Migwani & Majority Leader)

Hon. Muthengi Ndagara (MCA Tharaka & Deputy Majority Whip)

Hon. Zacheus Syengo (MCA Voo)

Hon. Anthony Musyoka (MCA Kiomo/Kyethani)

Hon. Hussein Mwandia (MCA Ikutha)

Hon. Priscilla Makumi (Wiper Nominated MCA)

Benson Musyoka (Chief Officer, Medical Services)

The TCD Digital Editorial Desk congratulates Ann and Hon. Mathew Ngovi Vuthi on their wedding and wishes them a happy and prosperous life together.

Political Landscape

The defense of Speaker Kinengo by MP Mbai has added a new dimension to Kitui County politics, with the potential impeachment motion signaling deep divisions within the county’s leadership. Observers are keen to see how this drama will unfold in the coming months as leaders maneuver for influence and control.
