The County Assembly of Kericho accused Governor Eric Mutai of using his office to harass to humiliate and harass employees often a times demanding favours in return of the officers keeping their jobs.
In its case against the Governor, two staff former employees of the devolved unit, said the County Chief had frequently forced them to contribute money for his fund raisers and other unexplained emergency situations he found himself in in the course of his duties as the Governor.
Edna Tanui, who appointed and dismissed as a Member of the County Executive Committee, told the Senate, that she had cumulatively contributed a total of Sh1.5 million to the Governor for fund raisers in the two years she served as a CEC.
Tanui and other CECs were dismissed by the Governor on December 23, 2024 by the Governor through a post of his official Facebook page.
While the County Chief did not give reasons for the sackings, merely stating that it was a reorganization of his Government, Tanui told the House that she suspects that she was fired because she failed to contribute to the Governor’s constant demand for money for public collections.
