Chaos, Fists Render County Assembly House Over Speaker’s Impeachment
The trio were hurt after a scuffle between people opposed to Speaker Ann Kiusya’s impeachment and those who supported it on Tuesday.
Majority Whip Lucky Nzau was brought to the hospital while bleeding, while Majority Leader Nicholas Nzioka and Deputy Speaker Stephen Mwanthi received minor injuries.

Heavy security, which had been stationed at the event due to the sensing of chaos, came in quickly to quell the unrest.
