NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec 15 — KANU Party has suspended its Secretary General Nick Salat citing violation of its constitution.
Salat’s suspension following a National Executive Council on Thursday came at a time of heightened criticism of Party Leader Gideon Moi.
The 30-day suspension was announced after a meeting of the party’s National Executive Council in Nakuru.
Moi said the organ had received “several complaints” concerning Salat’s conduct.
Salat who attended the meeting objected the suspension noting that he was never given an opportunity to defend himself against claims that he was planning to oust Moi.
The party’s disciplinary committee was directed to expedite disciplinary proceedings within 30 days to finalize the matter.
Salat is said to be planning a retreat with its elected leaders in Nakuru where its KANU’s membership in Azimio would be the theme.
