Residents Storm County Assembly Demanding Governor’s Impeachment, MCAs Hide
Residents of Nandi County stormed the County Assembly on Tuesday, demanding the impeachment of Governor Stephen Sang.
The aggravated constituents accuse Sang of underperformance, failure to deliver development, and presiding over the hiring of ghost workers.
Members of the County Assembly are said to have fled the chambers after learning that a furious crowd of residents was marching toward the Assembly.
According to videos circulating on X, irritated residents marched and stormed the County Assembly, demanding to engage the Speaker and have their voices heard.
Things are boiling well in Nandi County.

However, as they approached the gate, security personnel intervened and informed them that they could not see the speaker because he was away.
‘’That is a lie, where has the speaker gone to,’’ one resident could be heard shouting in the middle of the confusion.
Before being forced to flee, MCAs had gotten into a fight in the assembly chambers.
Viral videos show the MCAs fighting before police officers at the assembly intervened to stop them.

Recently, the Nandi governor made headlines when he confirmed the firing of over 1,500 workers, whom he claimed were ghost workers.

According to county reports, the fired workers were sent home informally by ‘word of mouth’ rather than going through fair labor termination procedures.
The County has been the subject of leadership wrangles, with Senator Samson Cherargei and Governor Sang feuding over various issues at the devolved unit.
Cherargei revealed on Tuesday morning, while appearing on Spice FM, that he would consider suing the County Government over the recent unfair dismissal of over 1,500 employees.
Tuesday’s incident is similar to one that occurred on July 9, 2024, when a group of youth stormed the offices, demanding a platform with Governor Sang to discuss stalled development projects.
