    "content": "(b) Further, on 15th August, 2023, while addressing the Press to counter the findings of the Ad Hoc Committee of the County Assembly on Londiani Accident, the governor spitefully referred to the Members of the said Ad Hoc Committee as “the funeral committee”; (c) The Governor has been operating with impunity as though he is above the law. On the second day of being sworn in to office, the governor led a mob to invade a private land owned by Mr. Joseah Kiplangat Kogo within Kericho Town and tore down the fence. The governor has since designated the subject land as an illegal dumpsite operated by the County Government without the consent of the registered proprietor, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) approval, gazettement by the county designating the parcel as a dumpsite and in total disregard of a court order issued by the Environment and Land Court in Kericho in ELC Petition No. E001 of 2022; JoseahKiplangat Kogo vs. County Government of Kericho . The Governor has also obstructed the enforcement of the orders by the Administration Police. The actions are illegal, contemptuous to the authority and dignity of the court and the rule of law, unethical and demeaning the office the governor holds. Further, as a result of the illegal actions of the governor, the county was condemned to pay the costs. (d) There are numerous complaints of governor’s indecent and unnatural sexual behavior by female partners who accuse the governor of, for instance, forcing them to unconsented anal sex, dangerous and unprotected sex, et cetera. (e) The governor has persistently intimidated, molested, harassed county officers who do not sing to his tune leaving officers jittery and creating an atmosphere of fear, uncertainty and despondency in the county and thus creating a toxic work environment. This violates the provisions of Sections 11 and 13 of the Leadership and Integrity Act, 2012. (f) The governor has persistently used divisive and unbecoming language which undermines the office he holds contrary to Section 8 of the Leadership and Integrity Act, 2012. (g) The governor has violated Article 75 (1) of the Constitution by drawing hefty allowances and a salary while failing to diligently report to work to the huge detriment of the discharge of his mandate as a governor and the performance of his functions. (h) The acts of the governor enumerated above have collectively brought dishonour and disrepute into the Office of the Governor in violation of Chapter 6 of the Constitution and the Leadership and Integrity Act, 2012. Hon. (Dr.) Erick Kipkoech Mutai, how do you plead to ground 3; guilty or not guilty?"
