KTN Journalist Yvonne Chepkwony has filed a report with the police over claims that she received threats from a senior county official. The journalist explained that she feared for her life after Baringo Health County official Gideon Toromo kept issuing threats, warning her not to publish or report a court case she was following up. He wondered why the county official narrowed his target on Chepkwony despite the court case being in the public domain. The county official was released on bond of Ksh100,000 with a surety of similar amount or cash bail of Ksh30,000. This is not the first time that the county official is on the spot over alleged violence.
