Sabaot professionals have questioned the running mate choice of Trans Nzoia governor aspirant George Natembeya. Natembeya picked banker Philemona Kapkori.›Speaking to the media in Kitale on Tuesday, the professionals, who included teachers and doctors and elders, said Natembeya rejected names they had given him for consideration. "Yes, it is the prerogative of a candidate to chose his running mate but not without consulting the community. Mzee Peter Chemorit, Sabaot council of elders vice chairperson, said the community was now considering backing Kenya Kwanza governor aspirant Chris Wakhungu Wamalwa. But Natembeya defended his choice, saying none of the names that had been fronted met his criteria for a running mate.
