Nairobi; Kenya: Kericho County Governor Paul Chepkwony recently faced a wrath of his colleagues during President Uhuru Kenyatta’s visit to the region for fund-raiser at Africa Gospel Church.
They criticised the Governor over his pro-referendum push being fronted by the Council of Governors. Chepkwony felt isolated and a target of harsh criticism from leaders in the presidential entourage. Speaking after attending the church service, President Uhuru, who was accompanied by Senate Majority leader Kithure Kindiki and Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen, asked Jubilee governors supporting the referendum camp to change course or shift out. “If you have your own plans, quit the Jubilee government and seek fresh mandate from the electorate through a party you think suits you best,” President Uhuru said.
