Kericho Governor Erick Mutai has called for reconciliation with Members of the County Assembly after the Senate intervened to save him from impeachment. Speaking during the Mashujaa Day celebrations in Kedowa, Kipkelion East constituency on Sunday, Governor Mutai stressed the importance of unity between the executive and the county assembly, cautioning that a lack of harmony could disrupt service delivery to residents.

“The two arms of government are intertwined like Siamese twins. We must therefore learn to live together or perish together as fools,” he stated.

Dr. Mutai announced that he would soon convene a reconciliation meeting involving other county leaders, clergy, and key stakeholders to address the differences between the executive and the assembly.

Despite the challenges, he reaffirmed his dedication to serving the people of Kericho, insisting that the impeachment attempt would not deter him. “I am ready to work with renewed energy and zeal. I pray that the era of impeachment attempts will come to an end because Kericho has a history of impeaching governors during their first term. It happened to my predecessor, Paul Chepkwony, and recently, I also became a target,” he remarked.

During the event, Deputy Governor Fred Kirui also addressed rumors suggesting that he had allied with the 31 MCAs who voted for Governor Mutai’s impeachment.

kirui dismissed these claims but admitted that there were differences between the county’s leaders.
“The governor is doing his work in isolation, so is the deputy governor, the speaker, and the senator,” he said.

Kipkelion East MP Joseph Cherorot expressed his willingness to mediate between the executive and the assembly to restore peace and unity within the county government.
“The executive and the assembly must come together and work in harmony for the benefit of the people,” he said.

County Assembly Speaker Patrick Mutai echoed the call for unity, stressing that resolving the issues that led to the governor’s impeachment was crucial for the county’s progress.
“It’s important that we address these matters so that Kericho can move forward,” he said.

The County Assembly Speaker added that cooperation between Governor Mutai and his deputy Fred Kirui was essential to ensure seamless service delivery.
