Chama Cha Mashinani is set to roll out nationwide recruitment early in October as part of efforts to grow its support base across the country. Bomet Governor Isaac Rutto told the Star on Thursday that the listing of members will ensure his party has a "national feeling". He said he will defend his seat in 2017 through the CCM party, following National Assembly deputy speaker Joyce Laboso's declaration of interest in vying against him on a Jubilee ticket. CCM is one of the Rift Valley parties that will be waiting to benefit from the expected fallout by parties that merged for form Jubilee Party.
