“In the circumstances, the continued existence of the party is dependent on continued financial support from creditors, bankers and well-wishers,” the report reads in part.
The financial state of the party has been the subject of tense exchanges between Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju and his deputy Caleb Kositany.
Tuju recently reprimanded Kositany for demanding party financial documents, accusing him of suffering from megalomania.
