Embattled Churo-Amaya MCA Ameja Zelemoi has ceased to be Baringo assembly deputy speaker after the Kabarnet High Court dismissed his petition on Friday. Zelemoi conceded defeat and surrendered the position to newly-appointed deputy speaker Jacob Cheboiwo. “I am grateful for the great opportunity given to me to serve in the assembly as deputy speaker. On March 17, 36 out 45 MCAs voted to remove Zelemoi over allegations of gross-misconduct and abuse of office. He was backed by the assembly minority leader Sam Lokales, Daniel Tiwit, Maria Losile (Loyamorok), Solomon Makal (Kolowa) and Sherdrack Mailuk (Tangulbei).
