Violence broke out at Kericho County Assembly after representatives completed their second impeachment vote against Governor Erick Mutai within twelve months. Physical altercations erupted between opposing groups of assembly members following the announcement of the results. Thirty-three representatives out of forty-seven supported the removal motion, while others fought on the chamber floor. Sergeants struggled to control the heated confrontation as shouting filled the assembly hall. Women representatives exchanged harsh words during the chaotic scene.
Sigowet Ward representative Kiprotich Rogony presented the impeachment motion against the governor. The charges center on constitutional violations, office abuse, and poor resource management practices. Assembly members ignored a court directive that prohibited debate until petition proceedings concluded. Representatives justified their actions by stating that citizens required strong leadership decisions. The matter advances to Senate hearings, where final determination will occur regarding the governor's future.
