A section Rigena Youth group members from Nyamache sub county have accused two of their officials for selling some of the group’s assets without consulting all members.
Speaking on Monday, they accused acting Chairman Alex Obaga and Treasurer Peterson Okioma for selling two donkeys, a power saw and five tents meant for hiring contrary to expectations of all members.
They gave the accused a period of one week to return the assets of their equivalents before they sue them in court for fraud.
“We are not happy at all that some people can contravene the constitution of the group by selling our assets without consultation. This is completely unacceptable and they have a week to ensure the assets are returned or their equivalents before we sue them in court,” said Johnson Mageto on their behalf.
Mageto further announced suspension of the two besides imposing a fine of Sh10,000 to them before they are reinstated as members of the group.
“They have ceased being our leaders and hence they remain suspended till they pay Sh10,000 as a fine. This will be a lesson to those who think that they can defraud us what we took years to acquire. They have really set a bad precedence,” he added.
However Obaga denounced the claims and accused the faction for exaggerating and misinforming the public.
“We have never contravened the rules of the group. We sold the assets after a decision by the committee members in line with the constitution to offset some debts that we owe our creditors. Most members endorsed the move and those quarreling have the tendency of skipping meetings,” he said.
