MACHAKOS COUNTY: A day after a vehicle used by Machakos deputy governor Bernard Kiala was withdrawn the county government has ruled out any element of political witch hunting.

In an official statement issued by the county’s executive in charge of transport, roads and public works Mr George Kioko wa Luka, the move was taken to facilitate the fitting of green number plates to the vehicle after removing the private white and yellow number plates.
