The Thirdway Alliance party has suspended its party leader Dr. Ekuru Aukot over financial impropriety and lack of transparency to party members.
Although many analysts are calling this a case of the hunter becoming the hunted.
It is not lost on many that Mr Aukot had suspended the Secretary-General Fredrick Oka’ngo who today signed his suspension letter.
Aukot’s fate was decided by a resolution made by the National Executive Committee (NEC) following a meeting held on Wednesday at the party’s headquarters.
During the meeting, NEC considered complaints raised against Aukot by party members, including self-enrichment, non-accountability and lack of transparency.
Aukot has also been claimed to have assaulted his deputy Dr. Angela Mwikalio using crude words which were later published by online bloggers.
He has also been accused of defying a court order in a children’s case, hence violating Chapter Six of the Constitution of Kenya.
The party’s NEC suspended Aukot indefinitely and barred him from representing or transacting any business on behalf of the party.
Aukot has been directed to appear before the party disciplinary committee at a later date to be communicated.
The party through its Secretary-General Fredrick Okango and Chairman Miruru Waweru wrote: “Ekuru Aukot shall not represent or transact any business on behalf of the party pending the determination of the matter by the disciplinary committee.”
Prior to this, party members had raised various concerns on Aukot’s conduct of business.
Dr Aukot most recent engagement was the championing the infamous Punguza Mizigo Bill, calling for changes in the Constitution. The bill, however, failed to be endorsed by 24 of 47 counties in October last year.
