The Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) on Friday, August 1, held a crisis meeting to deliberate on the petition to remove Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya as the party's deputy leader and expel him entirely.
This followed a petition filed on Thursday, July 31, by a party member seeking Natembeya's removal and accusing him of funding and promoting another political party, Conservation for Democracy in Kenya (COD-K), through proxies. ''Petition for the expulsion of the deputy party leader, & the Governor of Trans Nzoia, Hon.
George Natembeya, for funding the registration and/or promotion of another political party known as Conservation for Democracy in Kenya (CoD-K) through proxies,'' the petition read in part.
In the crisis meeting held at the party's Headquarters in Karen, Nairobi, where Natembeya was absent, the party leadership acknowledged that, indeed, there was a serious dispute among party leaders.
