The Bungoma High Court on Thursday stopped the vetting of 10 nominated executives after the minority Teso community complained it had been sidelined. During vetting, however, Walela told the vetting at KIE on Wednesdaythat he is not an Iteso and insisted that he was an original Bukusu. This angered the Iteso elders who sought the court order to stop the vetting until the matter is heard and determined. They obtained the orders on Thursday which was served to the governor, county secretary and the speaker of the county assembly. Speaker Emmanuel Situma stopped the process, saying they will abide by the law by waiting.
