The Deputy President also asked UDA members across the country to focus on development instead of having conflicts.
“Elections are over, and we have a responsibility to the people of Kenya to fast track development. We want where there are issues, the party mechanism is available to help members to solve them without going to the embarrassing situation we witnessed in Kericho,” Gachagua said.
He added, “Such situations are unacceptable because the UDA Party is the ruling party and is led by the President and therefore, we cannot allow such embarrassment anywhere in the country.”
The new changes come days after President Ruto slammed the Kericho MCAs for fighting for positions instead of working for the people of Kericho.
