Published on June 13, 2020, the fate of 15 Members of County Assemblies from West Pokot and Baringo is now in the hands of the Kanu party's National Executive Council.

The ward representatives are accused of supporting leadership changes at the respective counties and not remitting to the party the monthly contribution of Sh5,000 as stipulated in the nomination rules.

Former nominated Senator Zipporah Kittony, the party's disciplinary committee chair, said her committee has finished interrogating the 15 MCAs, noting most of them were remorseful and had apologized.

Those from Baringo are accused of failure to adhere to the party's loyalty pledge and code of conduct by participating in the impeachment of Deputy Speaker Ameja Zelemoi against the party's position.

Meanwhile, the County Assembly of West Pokot was forced to adjourn its sittings after only five members turned up for the sitting, with Majority Leader Thomas Ngolesia being the only member from Kanu present.
