Baringo Ward Representatives have clashed over moving Senator Gideon Moi’s liaison office from the assembly premises in Kabarnet town.
On Thursday MCAs allied to the Jubilee Party argued that the office was dormant and illegally placed in the assembly building.
Bartabwa MCA Reuben Chepsongol stated: "The house committee chairs are lacking space to create their offices, so we are giving Senator Moi’s three days to pack his things and leave the premise."
The assembly chief whip stated that the government had allocated senators cash to rent their independent liaison offices in their respective counties and questioned why Senator Moi had refused to move.

"We fail to understand what Senator Moi has been doing with the money since 2013," Chepsongol stated further inviting the EACC to probe the matter.
The issue arose as the Ward Representatives discussed a motion on the county budget for the next financial year.
However, KANU MCAs protested the move accusing Deputy President William Ruto of having a hand in the eviction.
Ameja Zelemoi, Churro-Amaya MCA and deputy speaker stated "They will not succeed with their plans. If anything, they should go back and collect signatures from members of the public to impeach the senator than engage in sideshows."
The Ward Representative further stated that the assembly building does not belong to any political party to warrant the Senator's eviction.

His sentiments were backed by other MCAs who are not affiliated to the Jubilee Party.
