Machakos Deputy Governor Bernard Kiala yesterday exercised his powers in the absence of the Governor by suspending two ministers and a chief officer. But the suspended ministers dismissed the action as laughable and a big joke.

At a press conference in his office, Mr Kiala (pictured) announced the suspension of the Decentralised Units and IT Minister Kioko Luka, who is also acting Water Minister, Roads and Public Works Minister Joshua Musili and Agriculture Chief Officer Nimrod Mbai, for what he termed misconduct.
