Members of the Kiambu County Assembly (MCAs) Planning Committee have moved to pass a motion of no-confidence against their chairperson after allegations that he extorted money from a developer.

In a letter addressed to Deputy Speaker John Njiru, 10 members of the Lands, Housing, Physical Planning, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Committee have recommended that Ruth Waithira be relieved of her duties as chairperson and also removed from the committee as a member.

They accused the chair lady who is the MCA for Githiga ward of negotiating with a developer from Juja sub-county without the members’ knowledge.

“The negotiations were meant for extortion. This portrays a very bad image for the entire committee and taints the integrity of honourable members,” the letter dated February 22, 2023, reads in parts.

Further, they accused Waithera of engaging in negotiations with developers in Kiambaa (Ruaka sub-county), Safaricom and others in total disregard for members.

The committee members have proposed that Waithera be replaced by the vice-chairman Moses Wambiri of Murera ward and that the position of vice-chairman is occupied by David Mwaura (Ndenderu ward).

This comes as Governor Kimani Wamatangi recently commissioned an audit of all residential and commercial buildings across the county, both complete and those under construction, to examine structural integrity.

The move was meant to address the continuous collapsing of buildings, leading to deaths in what has been attributed to poor workmanship as a result of failure by the previous county administrations to enforce compliance and rout corruption.
