Bungoma Senator, Moses Wetangula is no longer the leader of the FORD Kenya political party, officially.
Registrar of Political Parties Ann Nderitu published a Gazette notice on Monday, June 8, indicating that Kanduyi Member of Parliament Athanas W. Wamunyinyi was the official leader of the party.
“Any person with written submissions concerning the intended change by the political party shall within 7 days from the date herein deposit them with the Registrar of Political Parties,” the gazetted notice read in part.
Wetangula said members who attended the purported National Executive Council (NEC) meeting were imposters airlifted from different parts of the country despite Covid-19 restrictions.
“They were airlifting people yesterday from Kisumu and Mombasa, persons who are not officials of the party. Persons who are not NEC members… They took them through an unlawful meeting where they purported to make decisions affecting this party without authority because they are not lawfully assembled and they have no authority to make the changes, ” Wetangula said in a statement from the Ford Kenya’s headquarters, off Ngong Road.
The Senator said Ford Kenya members who participated in the process would face disciplinary action.
Consequently, he said, Eseli had been suspended as secretary-general by the real NEC members.
“Regrettably, my close friend and the person I grew up with, is suspended and will be replaced by Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa,” said Wetangula.
“Wafula Wamunyinyi, a man who has walked in my shadow, has also been suspended and we have appointed Vincent Kemosi as the new secretary for Livestock.”
