On Sunday there was a "revolt" in Nandi County when local leaders stayed away from an event convened by Governor Cleophas Lagat and presided over by Ruto. But when Ruto proceeded to Kurgung, it was only governor Lagat who proceeded with him and were received by Bitok, the Mosop legislator. He said: "Although it is the discretion of a leader to attend any function, we normally attend functions as a group," said Bitok. The governor needs to ask himself tough questions as to why people snubbed the function, it means he has isolated himself."
