Fredrick Kaptui Plimo, the Speaker of the West Pokot County Assembly, is due in court on November 5, 2026, to answer charges linked to the alleged theft of Ksh260 million from Eco-Pillar Sacco Society Limited.
The court summons places one of the county's most senior legislative officials at the centre of a case that strikes at the heart of cooperative finance in the region. Saccos across Kenya are a lifeline for millions of ordinary savers, making allegations of this scale deeply personal for the communities they serve.
Whether Plimo enters a plea or the case takes another turn, November 5 is a date West Pokot residents will be watching closely.
