Former Gatundu South MP, Moses Kuria was also seen to share the claims on his Twitter account commenting on the scandal that was witnessed in the Kericho County government.
I heard about the scandal in Kericho County MCA nominations. From what I gather, there is no scandal, this is how marginalised people look like in Kericho. Ladies, less make up, more marginalisation. pic.twitter.com/fsYeFjk0Iz

According to one of the tweets seen by this publication, it is alleged that a senior leader in the county criticized the presence of persons with disability taking roles in the county government.
An elected leader in Kericho County legit said that people with disabilities "watachafua" sura ya county. Isssorait, 5 years is not a long time.
