Anthony Kamau has been elected as the new deputy speaker of the Nakuru County Assembly. This follows the impeachment of Molo MCA Ngware Ng'ang'a on Thursday evening.

For the past two weeks, speculations have been making the rounds on social media regarding an alleged plot to impeach Mr Ngware. Mr Ngware confirmed to Mtaa Wangu that the rumours were indeed true.

He also shed light on why some members of the County Assembly were out to oust him, citing a funeral where he had voiced his opinions on the 2025 Finance Bill.

“During the funeral I took the opportunity to pass on my condolences to the family of my area MP Kuria Kimani. Additionally, before the speech, I had engaged with some of the locals who told me that once I take the stage I should address the recommended taxes in this year’s Finance Bill seeing as the Mp is also the Chairperson of the Finance and National Planning Committee. I did so in a very respectable manner,” Mr Ngware said.

According to Mr Ngware his remarks did not sit well with some of the national leaders who were in attendance at the burial.

He was later served with a show cause notice (a formal document issued by an employer or authority to an employee or subordinate asking them to explain or justify their behaviour or performance).

The impeachment took place at the County Assembly behind closed doors, with the session lasted over two hours. The impeachment of the Molo legislator was confirmed at around 7pm.

Soon after, Anthony Kamau, the Nakuru Town East MCA, was elected as the new deputy speaker.

In his acceptance speech, the new deputy speaker thanked his colleagues for the trust they had placed in him.

"It is with profound humility and immense gratitude that I stand before you to accept the weighty responsibility of being the deputy speaker of the Nakuru County Assembly. I wish to thank every honourable member who has placed their trust in me," he said.

This follows the battle for supremacy witnessed among United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party members in the House when a battle for the leadership of the majority leader ensued. Things got noisy and messy when Alex Langat was pitted against William Mutai.

Keringet MCA William Mutai was confirmed as the new majority leader.
