PETITION LAUNCHED SEEKING THE DISSOLUTION OF THE KERICHO COUNTY GOVERNMENT

A petition has been launched seeking the suspension and dissolution of the Kericho County Government. In a statement on August 9, 2025, Kericho County residents announced that they had initiated a lawful and peaceful process to petition for the suspension and dissolution of the County Government. They also stated that the petition is driven by ongoing internal conflicts that have rendered the county ungovernable.
“We, concerned citizens of Kericho, are initiating a lawful and peaceful process to petition for the suspension and dissolution of the County Government of Kericho under Article 192(1)(b) of the Constitution of Kenya, due to ongoing internal conflicts that have rendered the county ungovernable,” read the notice.
According to Kericho residents, the continued wrangles between the County Assembly and the Executive have crippled service delivery, paralyzed county operations, created political instability, and eroded public trust in leadership.
“As residents, we are suffering due to stalled development, lack of basic services, and failed governance. We invite all registered voters of Kericho County to join this cause by signing the petition,” read the notice.
The signature collection began on 7th August 2025 across the county. The process will be conducted peacefully, lawfully, and in full compliance with the Constitution.
“Your voice matters, let’s work together to restore dignity, order, and accountability in Kericho,” ended the notice.
