A motion to revoke the voting rights of nominated members in the Kiambu County Assembly has ignited significant controversy amid fears it undermines gender equality and minority representation.

• The motion, introduced by Riabai MCA Hezron Gachui, aims to prohibit nominated MCAs from voting on key matters such as the annual budget.
• Critics, including Nominated MCA Rebecca Nyaruai, argue it threatens the relevance of nominated positions, framing it as a regressive move against the achievements of the 2010 Constitution.
• Success stories of many current leaders, such as Millie Odhiambo, highlight how vital nominated positions have been in advancing political careers.
