Chaos erupts at Kisumu County Assembly as Budget chair dropped.

The County Assembly of Kisumu has today witnessed chaos as a section of its Members protest the removal of Budget and appropriation committee Chair.

Chaos rocked the House when the New Chair for Budget and Appropriation Committee Judy Ogaga was being sworn in to take over from Stephen Owiti who has been the chair.

It took the intervention of Ksm County Assembly Speaker Onyango Oloo for the New Chair for Budget and appropriation Committee Judy Ogaga who is also the Central Ksm Ward MCA to be sworn-in during a chaotic scene at the Assembly.

After the Swearing-in of the New Budget Chair,Speaker gave communication from the chair where he said he received communication of the members of the Budget Committee that they had made changes at the Committee where they had replaced the immediate former Chair Steven Owiti with Judy Ogaga.

During the melee, the immediate former Chair took the Mace and tried to run away with it but the hawked-eyed Sergeant at arms restrained him forcing him to drop it near a chair within the Assembly.

The immediate former Budget Chair tried to interrupt communication's from the chair that was being delivered by the Speaker but in vain.

However, Normalcy returned a few minutes and the House begun to debate on the list of MCAs who have been nominated to the House Business Committee.

The list had drawn mixed reactions as a section of Members of the Majority Party which is ODM Party protested the move by Liaison Chair Roy Samo presenting it to the House for Debate.

Samo defended his move to present the list saying he was doing so because the list had names that included those from Majority and Minority parties represented in the house.

He added that it was not only the Majority Party list of members representing it in the house Business Committee.
