The residents are primarily motivated by Wamumbi’s recent vote in favor of a motion against former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

They also cited several other reasons for the recall, including alleged abuse of office, misappropriation of CDF funds, bribery during public participation on Gachagua’s impeachment, and the unlawful dismissal of constituency office employees. Ngari stated. Ngari plans to maximize the December holiday when most residents return home to boost the number of signatures collected.

Meanwhile, MP Wamumbi has dismissed the recall effort on his Facebook page, labeling it as a retaliatory move by the former Deputy President. Despite this, Ngari and the residents remain determined to continue their push for Wamumbi’s removal..
