Deputy President William Ruto was shocked after Nandi County leaders avoided his meeting on Sunday.
The meeting was convened by Governor Cleophas Lagat and presided by Ruto.
Senator Stephen Sang, Woman Representative Zipporah Kering and five MPs skipped the interdenominational fund- raiser for churches at Kurgung High School in Mosop constituency.
Area MP Stephen Bitok is the only local leader who received the DP upon arrival.
Nandi County Assembly Speaker Edwin Cheluget, former MP David Koech and a few MCAs attended the function.
Senator Sang claimed that Governor Lagat has never been a team player.
"The governor has never been a team player. The governor needs to ask himself tough questions as to why people snubbed the function, it means he has isolated himself," he said.
