Embattled Thirdway Alliance party leader Ekuru Aukot has been barred by Political Parties Disputes Tribunal from accessing his party offices.

The Tribunal on Tuesday September 1, 2020 gave an order on barring the suspended Aukot, his servant, agents, or employees from accessing or entering the party’s offices pending the hearing and determination of his disciplinary case by party members.

Aukot was suspended on August 26 over allegations of financial impropriety and lack of transparency to party members.

Thirdway Alliance National Executive Committee (NEC) suspended Aukot following a meeting held at the party’s headquarters.

The party had sought a prohibitory injunction from the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal proscribing Aukot, his servants from accessing the office or dealing in any manner with the members of  NEC.

The Certificate of Agency from the party filed on August 31 demanded that Aukot be barred until the party Disciplinary Committee made its ruling on September 4.

Deputy Director of the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal granted the party their wishes, giving Aukot and interested parties seven days to file their complaints.

The tribunal will hold a virtual meeting with the concerned parties on September 9 to confirm compliance.
