A group of residents in Nyandarua headquarters, Ol Kalou, engaged police in running battles on Tuesday after they broke a gate to the local assembly premises, ostensibly to get access for embattled Speaker Ndegwa Wahome. He alleged that Nyandarua County was being run by "goons" who had no regard for court orders. However, MCAs opposed to the Speaker led by Majority Leader, Wambugu King’ori said County Assembly business was going on as usual. Addressing a pressing conference after the chaos, King’ori said the Assembly "cannot be ruled by court orders" yet Wahome did not have the numbers. Five MCAs allied to Wahome, among them Gatimu Ward County Representative, Kieru Wahome were also barred from entering the precincts.
