Machakos Members of County Assembly must stand with Speaker Anne Kiusya because she represents the very foundation of accountable leadership that citizens expect from devolved government. Her unwavering commitment to transparency, fearless oversight of the executive, and protection of public resources has positioned her as a champion of the people’s interests. Supporting her is not just about defending an individual—it’s about upholding the integrity of the Assembly, safeguarding the principle of checks and balances, and ensuring that Machakos County remains on a path of honest, people-centered governance.
As political tensions escalate in Machakos County, residents are being urged to stand firmly behind County Assembly Speaker Hon. Anne Kiusya, a leader widely praised for her commitment to accountability, transparency, and service to the people.
Speaker Kiusya has earned a reputation as a fearless defender of public interest, consistently using her office to provide checks and balances on the executive. Her leadership has ensured that taxpayer money is used responsibly, and that the county government remains answerable to its citizens.
However, her bold stance has not come without resistance. Governor Wavinya Ndeti’s administration is now accused of spearheading efforts to impeach the Speaker—not for wrongdoing, but for doing her job too well.
“This impeachment push is a direct attack on accountability,” said one MCA. “Speaker Kiusya has done nothing but protect the people’s money and demand transparency. That’s why the Governor wants her out.”
Public support for the Speaker is growing, with civil society groups, youth leaders, and ordinary citizens speaking out against what they see as an abuse of power. Demonstrations in various parts of the county have called on the Assembly to reject any politically motivated attempts to remove Kiusya from office.
“Machakos must support Speaker Kiusya, not just for who she is, but for what she represents,” said a resident in Kangundo. “She’s standing up for all of us. If we let her be silenced, we are also silencing our right to good governance.”
Analysts Speak
Governance experts have warned that removing the Speaker without due cause could destabilize the county and weaken oversight mechanisms.
“Speaker Kiusya embodies what devolution was meant to achieve—localized accountability and service delivery,” said political analyst Dr. Felix Muli. “Her removal would be a loss for the people of Machakos.”
Legal expert Esther Musyoka added that any impeachment effort must be grounded in the law, not politics. “Targeting a Speaker for performing her oversight role undermines constitutional principles,” she said.
As the political standoff continues, the people of Machakos are faced with a defining moment—whether to allow intimidation and power plays to prevail, or to defend a leader who has consistently put public interest first.
