The councillors were said to have initiated the impeachment process against Hon. Kassa popularly known as Chajawa, where they accused him of abuse office, misappropriation of funds and illegal collection of loan to the tune of #150 million and other issues.

A councillor who confided in NEWS PLATFORM, said that the battle line has already been drawn, and that since they have the majority of the Councillors, nothing will stop them from removing the chairman from office.

Speaking to NEWS PLATFORM on phone, the Chief Whip and Councillor representing Purakayo Ward,  Hon. Linus Chilge, said that they had served him, and that Hon. Chajawa had promised to appear before them on the 24th of this month to defend himself.

Hon. Chilge added that the Councillors have fixed Monday 17th, May,  2021, for a meeting during which they will deliberate more on the burning issue.
