Several County Executive Committee (CECs) Members were reportedly impeached by the Bomet County Assembly over various charges including gross violation of the Constitution, abuse of office and incompetence.
Reports indicate that the three County Executive Committee Members were kicked out of office after the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) in Bomet unanimously agreed to take action against them.
The three are reported to have skipped the impeachment motion hearing and were represented by their lawyer, Desmond Leteipa who followed the events as they unfolded.
