Nairobi County Assembly members have confronted city parliamentarians over alleged exclusion from presidential events. Majority Leader Peter Imwatok accused three legislators of blocking ward representatives from accessing President William Ruto. The assembly members claim MPs work with protocol handlers to replace them with political intermediaries during official ceremonies. Ward representatives say they face deliberate humiliation and disrespect from their parliamentary counterparts. Assembly members demand equal treatment and recognition as legitimate elected officials.
The legislators specifically targeted ODM parliamentarians for what they describe as superiority complex behavior. Imwatok threatened unspecified political consequences if the exclusion pattern continues. Assembly members refuse to work through intermediaries when engaging with the presidency. They have asked Speaker Ken Ng'ondi to arrange direct access to President Ruto for ward-level discussions. The confrontation highlights growing tensions between different levels of elected leadership in the capital city.
