Kenya’s High Commissioner to Pakistan Professor Julius Bitok has denied reports awash on social media that he had been arrested in Islamabad over allegations of defiling a minor. Bitok who spoke to the Star on phone says he has asked the police to investigate those behind the fake reports aimed at tainting his name. Bitok is now considered by many as one of the front runners for the seat in the absence of Mandago. Bitok has been Kenya's envoy to Pakistan since 2014. Others whose names are being floated as possible successors of Governor Mandago include Uasin Gishu Senator Professor Margaret Kamar and Kesses MP Dr Swarrup Mishra.
