The protesters who included MCAs marched to the county offices in an attempt to draw attention to their concerns targeting Governor Hillary Barchok. Carrying placards and tree branches, the demonstrators expressed their dissatisfaction with what they perceived as empty promises from the governor. They accused Barchok of poor leadership alleging a lack of capacity to drive development in the county. Addressing the press in Nairobi, Barchok pointed an accusing finger at some politicians for sponsoring the demos. He also dismissed claims that ECDE teachers are yet to be paid, and that Bomet town was dirty, as baseless.
