Mr Buzeki, who lost the Jubilee Party primaries to Mr Mandago and opted to go independent, maintained that he was still interested in the governor’s seat. Mr Mandago, however, steered clear of the debate, but promised to look into Mr Buzeki’s request. “We will serve those who voted for us and those who voted for my opponent equally,” said Mr Mandago. Mr Mandago said only farmers who were members of cooperative societies and other groups will be beneficiaries of the lower price. In the neighbouring Elgeyo-Marakwet County, Governor Tolgos said his focus was solely on implementing key projects that will define his legacy.
