Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Wiper Democratic Movement Party has threatened to expel Makueni governor Kivutha Kibwana from the party over misconduct.<\/p>\n

The Party in a letter dated July 23, 2021, demanded that Kibwana appear before the Disciplinary Committee within the next 14 days.<\/p>\n

The letter, seen by Kenyans.co.ke threatened to expel Kibwana from the Party, should he fail to appear before the Committee on July 30, 2021.<\/p>\n

The letter was put out and signed by the party Committee Disciplinary Chairperson, Geoffrey M. Sore, condemning Kibwana for failing to attend the committee disciplinary meeting on several occasions.<\/p>\n

“It is the disciplinary Committee’s understanding and finding that you are not willing to submit to a hearing of the Committee. Consequently, the committee shall, within 14 days hereof , make a recommendation on your expulsion from the Party based on your conduct and the correspondence between yourself and the Party over this matter,” read the statement in part.<\/p>\n

Kibwana was warned to take heed of the directive on the letter, and make any submissions a day before the day of the disciplinary hearing, July 29.<\/p>\n

“In the event that you have had a change of mind and or you wish to attend the hearing, be at the Party Headquarters Boardroom by 11:00 AM on 304 July 2021. Should you wish to make any further written responses and submissions , do so on or before 29th July 2021,” further read the statement.<\/p>\n

Kibwana on Tuesday, September 8 2020, had also been issued a 14-day ultimatum to pay party membership fees which the party accused him of failing to pay.<\/p>\n

The party had issued Kibwana a demand letter to pay Ksh600,000 in subscription arrears, which he denied he owed the party.<\/p>\n

He responded at the time explaining that the dispute had stemmed from a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2017 between his Muungano Party and Wiper, and that he planned to meet Wiper officials to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n

Kibwana, was also recently endorsed for the 2022 Presidential bid by the Akamba Clans\u2019 Council, who felt that he would be the rightful representative of the Kamba community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
