    "content": "The County Council of Trans Mara, unlike other local authorities, was not constituted immediately after the last general election because of a series of court cases lodged by the councillors in their endeavour to control council affairs. My Ministry, vide Ministerial Circular dated 18th February, 2008, directed all the local authorities to constitute their respective councils. However, it was not possible to constitute the county council of Trans Mara because returns from the Electoral Commission of Kenya indicated that elections in 14 wards were not concluded. It was, therefore, not viable to constitute the council as required by law. By this time, only eight out of the 22 councillors who were duly elected had been sworn-in. They were: Yiamboi Moses, Joseph Keah, David Saitai, Simeon Nesiria, Nekuro Kinyamai, John Kitiko, Stephen Kingi and ole Nkoidila."
