Nyamira County is turning into a theatre of the absurd where two parallel assemblies are holding sessions, leaving area residents and other stakeholders, including the national government, confused.

Trouble started when Members of the County Assembly sought to impeach Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo last year, with 22 MCAs voting in support while 12 MCAs voted against, which fell short of the threshold of 23 MCAs needed for the impeachment to be considered valid.

The 22 MCAs who supported the impeachment accused Assembly Speaker Enock Okero of siding with Nyaribo and instituted proceedings to oust him, birthing two factions that are running county affairs.
