    "content": "Allegation I: Illegal appointments, unlawful dismissal and transfers, and usurpation of the Constitutions and statutory functions of county public service. The particulars of this allegation are that the governor has variously engaged in gross misconduct and gross violations of Articles 10, 73, 75, 232, 235 and 236 of the Constitution; Section 17 of the Public Officer Ethics Act, Sections 55, 59, 59A, 60, 62, 63, 64 and 65 of the County Governments Act, Section 4 of the Public Appointments (County Assemblies Approval) Act and variously abused his office by- (i) illegally appointing one Mrs. Alice Bett (now Judge of the High Court) as the County Attorney when there was a substantive office holder, an act which the Employment and Labour Relations Court (Hon. Lady Justice Wasilla) affirmed was irregular, unprocedural and unlawful in Sang vs. Governor Kericho County & 2 others(Petition E001 of 202) and the governor’s actions were found to be illegal and unconstitutional and ordered to pay costs of Kshs2,000,000 and costs personally; (ii) causing the advertisement of the positions of doctors, nurses and Early Childhood Education (ECDE) teachers to endear himself politically when he knew the county government did not have the capacity to hire. The applicants were subsequently not shortlisted nor were the alleged vacancies filled up; (iii) illegally deploying health staff vide the Notice dated 22nd July, 2024, without any justification, authority and involvement of the County Service Board thus creating a crisis in the county health sector; and, (iv) illegally appointing Mr. George Kipng’eno Kirer as the Chief Officer for Finance and forwarding his name to the County Assembly for vetting and approval when there was a substantive office holder in the name of Ms. Jackline C. Langat and vacancy had not arisen. Hon. Senators, you may walk in and take your seats."
