Isiolo County Assembly has a new Speaker who will double as the chairperson of the County Assembly Service Board.
This is after the clerk of the assembly Salad Guracha gazetted Abdullahi Jaldesa Banticha as the new speaker.
This saw the exit of the controversial speaker Mohamed Roba in ongoing drama in an attempt to impeach Governor Abdi Guyo.
Guyo and Roba had been close friends before they fell out.
Roba has led a group of Members of County Assembly in a campaign to impeach Guyo in a political drama that has ended in court.
A court has stopped the process and termed it null and void and summoned Robar to explain why he cannot be cited for contempt.
On Friday June 27, 2025, the clerk gazzetted Banticha as the new Speaker in the dram.
“Abdullahi Jaldesa Banticha has been duly elected as the Speaker of the County Assembly and Chairman to the Isiolo County Assembly Service Board, on the 26th
June, 2025,” the notice said in part.
This happened on the same day that Roba led a group of MCAs in attempt to impeach Guyo.
The same exercise has been nullified by the court.
Roba Quto was Friday granted anticipatory bail by the High Court, shielding him from arrest pending any potential charges that may be brought against him.
The court ordered that Roba deposit a cash bail of Sh100,000 by close of business Friday.
