Kericho MCAs have unanimously passed a motion to impeach County Secretary Dr Wesley Bor on allegations of gross violation of the constitution, breach of the County Government Act, and incompetence.

Kapsaos MCA Paul Bii, the mover of the motion, stated that they have been closely monitoring the conduct of the County Secretary following numerous complaints from county staff and members of the public.

Bii highlighted that among the allegations raised against Dr Bor is the unprocedural redeployment of county staff without following the due process as outlined in the Human Resource Management Policy and the County Government Act of 2012.

Ainamoi MCA Cheruiyot Bett added that the County Secretary was adversely mentioned by an ADHOC Committee formed to investigate the misappropriation of Londiani Accident funds for the victims.

He also accused Dr Bor of misusing Ksh 39 million meant for the Kazi Mtaani project, claiming the money was lost through companies associated with him.

Cheruiyot said they are now awaiting the formation of a select committee, comprising no more than five members, to investigate the allegations and produce a report.
