The summon comes days after President Ruto read a riot act to the MCAs for fighting for positions instead of working for the people of Kericho.
"MCAs for Kericho stop the nonsense. You are wasting the Assembly's time fighting for positions instead of doing the job that Kenyans elected you to do. Shame on you. I want all your leaders to come together and solve the woes in that assembly," President Ruto said on Sunday, January 15.
The Kericho MCAs were caught on camera fighting in a video that has since gone viral on social media. Some of the MCAs were seen attacking each other while others tried to stop them.
