Some members of the Nairobi county assembly do not want him as the clerk. But a powerful individual said to pull strings at City Hall wants him to be in charge of the county assembly as the clerk. The county assembly clerk is the accounting officer with the overall say on how the assembly budget is spent. Ngwele was seconded to the county assembly from Parliament where he was the principal legal counsel. Last week, acting clerk Akuku told Elachi to stay put as there was no motion of impeachment forwarded to her office.
