Three officials of the Thirdway Alliance have moved to court seeking orders to stop party leader Ekuro Aukot from proceeding with his relaunched Punguza Mizigo initiative to amend the Constitution. Thirdway Alliance deputy party leader Angela Mwikali, deputy secretary general Phelister Wakesho and Hilda Gachahi, who chairs the national women's caucus, have also accused Aukot of running away from financial accountability. The three have protested, saying Aukot solely decided to relaunch the Punguza Mizigo initiative without any authority from the party's National Executive Committee and without calling for any meeting to review the party's previous performance. The officials said in their court documents that the current second phase of the Punguza Mizigo push to amend the Constitution has no blessings of Thirdway Alliance's supreme decision making organ, NEC. The three Thirdway Alliance officials threw their weight behind the Building Bridges Initiate crusade that seeks to address the country's ills by proposing far-reaching amendments to the supreme law.
