A motion to impeach the Mombasa County Transport, Infrastructure and Public works County Executive Committee Member Taufiq Balala has officially  been table in the County Assembly.

The motion was tabled on Tuesday by Jomvu Kuu ward representative, Athman Shebe and seconded by Magogoni MCA Ali Shomari.

The MCAs accuse Balala of incompetence, arrogance, abuse of office and violating the Constitution, refusing  to allow the assembly to exercise its oversight role over his department.

While tabling the motion before the house, Shebe accused the executive of failing to submit documents requested by the assembly and presiding over stalled projects that have overlapped financial years.

Speaker Aharub Khatri directed that the motion be debated on Tuesday, next week.

This comes just days after the County Governor Hassan Joho cautioned the MCAs from 'intimidating' his executives, the Governor threatened to marshal support from the residents and seek to dissolve the County assembly.

A local lobby group dubbed 'Fagia Bunge' has started collecting signatures from residents in a bid to dissolve the assembly.
