They were in a crucial meeting.

Several members of Muranga County Assembly on Friday morning engaged in ugly fights over the controversial election of house leadership.

In a video widely shared, several lawmakers are seen baying for each other's blood on the road, minutes after the alleged botched meeting.

The MCAs had convened at a meeting in Kiambu County where they were to vote and replace majority leader, his deputy, chief whip and deputy chief whip.

This is not the first time the Murang’a County lawmakers are fighting in public.

In November last year, a fight broke out county Assembly when members stormed the office of the clerk, Mr Chris Kinyanjui, seeking to evict him on accusations of “under funding them".

The MCAs, who were chanting "Kinyanjui must go”, accused the clerk and Speaker Nduati Kariuki of failing to release committee allowances and under funding them in the recent sports tour of Machakos County.

Fracas started in the morning when they demanded access to the assembly chambers to hold a special Kamukunji when the clerk informed them that they could not hold the meeting without the Speaker who is supposed to chair it.
