Barely hours after being rejected by the Nakuru county Assembly, Thirdway Alliance leader Ekuru Aukot received another shocker with Nairobi County rejecting his Punguza Mzigo Bill.

In a unanimous vote, MCAs allied to both the Jubilee and ODM this evening rejected the bill terming it unrealistic and retrogressive, and that it did not capture the views of the public during composition.
