The Senate should initiate amendments to the County Governments Act, 2012 to provide for the recall of nominated Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) clearly outlining grounds for recall, the procedure and the entities responsible for overseeing the process.

This has been proposed in a public petition to the Senate by a Nakuru resident Laban Omusundi, who noted that while there are laws and frameworks for recalling, impeachin or removing elected political leaders from office, these provisions do not extend to nominated MCAs.
