Former Keiyo South Mp Daniel Ronoh in trouble!

By Faith Chebichii and Dianah Chelagat

Fourteen staff members of former Member of Parliament for Keiyo South (Daniel Ronoh) have claimed that a sum of money amounting to over Ksh 3 Million was unlawfully deducted from their payslips between the years 2017-2022 .

Speaking to the media the Mp’s former driver David Kipsang has called upon the government to look into the issue saying most of the staff have lost a lot  of their monies in unclear circumstances.

“I would like to ask President William Ruto to look into this matter because he is a leader who would not like to see citizens getting exploited,i urge  various government investigative agencies to  investigate the  former  Mp and  the then Constituency manager over  the  illegal deductions” said kipsang.

Kipsang added  that more than ksh 90,000 was deducted from his salary, thus could not meet his financial needs effectively

“I was deducted more than Ksh 90,000,considering the current economic  situation, that is a lot of money yet I need to pay school fees for my children and other needs neither  the  former  Mp nor  the  Constituency manager  have accorded me a satisfactory explanation over the  deductions  ,” he said

However when contacted by Hubzmedia.africa the former legislature Daniel Rono  has claimed the staff willingly contributed the money to offset Kenya revenue Authority remittances that had not been paid  by the previous  keiyo South constituency   manager ,threatening freezing of the Constituency bank accounts and that would have led to staff missing their salaries and other allowances ,

“We took all the responsibility to ensure that all the mess that was caused by the former constituency manager, is sorted out and eventually those who contributed will get back their money, their salaries were intact ,we used office operations money to clear part of the money owned to KRA ”said Rono.

Gideon Kimaiyo allias  Sonko is  the current member of parliament for Keiyo South Constituency in Elgeiyo Marakwet County.
