BARINGO: There was drama Thursday at the county assembly after the reinstated Speaker William Kamket was denied entry by a section of members.

Angry members of county assembly (MCAs) led by the Majority Leader Elijah Toroitich, said the embattled speaker had a pending criminal case in the high court in Eldoret and cannot be allowed to resume business until he is cleared.
