The initial power struggle between the senator and the governor has escalated with an impending impeachment motion initiated by surrogates of Bomet Senator Wakili Sigei against Governor Barchok. This motion, expected to be implemented next week following its gazettement, marks the beginning of various ill-intentioned plans from the senator.

It is widely known that the senator has consistently opposed the governor, using his senate powers, immunity, and privileges to castigate him with the aim of bringing him down, aided by his ally and legal partner, former CS Kipchumba Murkomen. The plan might have been executed earlier if not for the President's dismissal of the embattled CS. Now, the senator is using certain MCAs to bring impeachment motions against the CECs for Water, Agriculture, Roads, Administration, and Finance.

Initially, the plan was to create the appearance of a conflict within Barchok's government, making it seem like the governor was against his own administration. Some COs were involved in opposing their CECs, hoping to succeed them. Some MCAs aligned with Senator Sigei had been instructed to avoid targeting the CECs for Water and Agriculture, as one was proposed by former Governor Ruto and the other is a close family friend. This raises questions about why CECs, who handle policy work, are being targeted instead of COs, who implement government programs.

Additionally, the senator has enlisted bloggers, led by SayAfrica of the KRN Facebook group, to amplify the alleged rift between CECs and COs. According to the plan, after impeaching the CECs, the same MCAs used by Senator Sigei would then be deployed to impeach Governor Barchok. However, the people of Bomet desire peace and are not interested in the impeachment of their governor, noting that development projects are managed by the government under the governor's supervision and the MCAs’ work is oversight, representation, and legislation roles.

To divert attention, another impeachment motion against the public service board is in the works. The big question is whether the MCAs have raised concerns in the house regarding the progress of development projects. If it’s about media misreporting on the governor’s remarks regarding resource allocation to each ward, then it should be the governor, not the CECs, being targeted. This appears to be a scheme to blindfold and blackmail the governor, possibly relating to something that went wrong during the budget process. More critical information is expected to come, and the next stage is so interesting.
