Contestants seeking membership of the steering committee membership Political Parties Liaison Committee (PPLC) are demanding that Irungu Nyakeira, former Permanent Secretary in the then Ministry of Devolution and Planning State Department of Planning and Statistics and now a member of Democratic Party of Kenya (DP), be barred from contesting for any position in the upcoming PPLC elections.

In their hard-hitting joint press statement on Irungu’s nomination to contest for the chairmanship of the steering committee of PPLC, the group has smelled a foul play in Irungu’s candidature.
