Mwangaza's troubles with MCAs started when MCAs rejected seven of the 10 executives she had nominated. The governor insisted that her nominees were competent as she urged the MCAs to approve them. However, things came to a boil over the matter when the MCAs walked out on Mwangaza when she went to the county assembly to deliver her inaugural address.
Some attribute her tribulations to the fact that as she has no political party. She has no loyal MCAs in the assembly and she has to lobby for her Bills on her own.
