By OSCAR KAKAIMore by this AuthorA group of Pokot elders have denounced the recent installation of Senator John Lonyangapuo as the community’s spokesman. Led by the Chairman of the Pokot Council of Elders, John Muok, they described Senator Lonyangapuo as 'young person who has not attained the age of being the community’s spokesperson.’“He is too young to be appointed as the spokesman of the community. “His age as well as his divisive politics do not even qualify him to be an elder,” Mr Muok said in Kapenguria Township Wednesday. The elders accused the senator for emulating the late Francis Lotodo who was once described as King of the Pokot. Pokot South MP, David Pkossing, also criticised Senator Lonyangapuo’s purported installation as an elder.
