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.
The clerk also circulated a memo at the county informing staff of the new board.
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 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.
But Roba forwarded the impeachment motion to the Senate which is set to debate the matter on July 7 and 8.
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.
He was later sworn in as the new Speaker
On July 1, in an internal memo, the clerk named Banticha as the chairman of the service board.
