| Turkana Governor Josephat Nanok addressing the presss |
The Council of Governors has come out strongly to warn the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission not bar any governor from contesting in the August polls over integrity issues. Addressing the press on Monday 5th, the new chair Turkana governor Josphat Nanok argued that despite the integrity of some aspirants being questioned, there is no way of proving that their record is questionable .He was quoted saying that “"No governor has been charged in the court of law to date.”
He went ahead to quote the section of the constitution which gave all the aspirants power to contest for the available elective posts.
This means that they have freedom to enjoy the freedom of carrying out their campaigns until they are proven to have committed an offense.
Aside from Kidero and Sonko, other governors who are also facing integrity issues include Alfred Mutua (Machakos), Mwwangi wa Iria (Muran'ga), and Godana Doyo (Isiolo).
