It is not yet campaign period, Baringo Governor Stanley Kiptis has said after being booed by residents during Deputy President William Ruto’s rally in Kabarnet town on Saturday. Kiptis accused his opponents of assigning goons to heckle him during the meeting. The crowd shouted down Kiptis and demanded former Governor Benjamin Cheboi to address the rally. Residents accused the governor of failing to utilise county funds well to complete pending projects. Hopefuls expected to challenge Governor Kiptis in 2022 are Tourism and Wildlife PS Fred Segor, Baringo county assembly clerk Richard Koech, retired commissioner Haron Komen and former Kenya School of Government Baringo campus director Isaac Chebon.
