In a statement, former Isiolo Deputy Governor Abdi Issa condemned the incident, warning that democracy is crumbling in the county.
Abdi asked President Ruto to intervene, disband the Isiolo County government, and establish a caretaker administration.
The attack on the assembly comes after Isiolo County Assembly Speaker Mohamed Roba was arrested by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations(DCI) along Thika Road.
The speaker was held at the Ruaraka Police Station until Wednesday morning before he was moved to an unknown location.
This is not the first time an attack has happened at the Isiolo County Assembly.
