Members of the Nandi County Assembly have questioned Governor Stephen Sang\u2019s commitment in the fight against corruption that has in the past affacted service delivery in some departments.<\/p>\n

This follows a failed impeachment attempt on Economic Planning and Finance County Executive Committee member Alfred Lagat.A section of MCAs yesterday wondered why the impeachment failed despite a majority of the ward representatives earlier backing a report to investigate the CEC for alleged gross misconduct and incompetence.They pointed an accusing fingers at the county administration, claiming it was becoming a \u2018stumbling block\u2019 in efforts by the Assembly to fight corruption.<\/p>\n
