The Mombasa County Assembly has cleared the County Transport and Infrastructure Executive Member Taufiq Balala of allegations raised against him by some members of the assembly, MCAs.

Majority of the  MCAs led by Jomvu Ward MCA Shebe Athuman (motion mover ) passed a motion to impeach Balala last month on grounds of incompetency, misuse of abuse and arrogancy.

The County Speaker then formed a special committee to look into the claims, the members included Fadhili Mwalimu Makarani (Port Reitz ward MCA and Deputy Speaker), Athman Rama Mwamwiri(Likoni ward MCA)  , Milka Moraa Ngare (Nominated), Ali Omar Shariff(Tononoka Ward MCA)  and Faith Boniface Mwende(Kipevu ward MCA).

The Committee yesterday cleared Balala arguing the claims lack proof.

Balala took to social media to welcome the move by the assembly saying he will continue working with the MCAs.

I would like the thank the Mombasa County Assembly for clearing me for all charges against me. I was given a chance to explain myself and the county assembly found me innocent on all the allegations against me" said Balala

Adding "The county assembly of #Mombasa have played their role of oversight as required by law. I will continue to respect their role and cooperate with them as they continue to serve the people of #Mombasa. To all my family, friends and supporters - Thank You for your prayers and support. Let’s now continue to build our beautiful Mombasa".
