There was confusion at the Kericho County Assembly after the newly installed house Majority Leader and Kamasian ward representative, Philip Rono, allegedly resigned from the position just days after he was picked by United Democratic Alliance (UDA) members.

This happened as Speaker Patrick Mutai kicked out of the chambers a group of journalists who were at the Assembly to cover a special sitting convened on Friday, January 13 to deliberate a supplementary budget.
