After a series of internal assembly wrangles, Beatrice Elachi yesterday threw in the towel and quit her position as speaker of the Nairobi assembly. In view of the goings-on, it has merged that a secret meeting held two weeks ago discussed and sealed Elachi’s fate. The Star has established the meeting was chaired by President Uhuru Kenyatta and was attended by 41 MCAs, who were planning to impeach her. For many, Elachi resignation came as a shock. However, Elachi resignation came by word of mouth through a live coverage done from the Office of the Speaker at the county assembly.
