Bomet
Bomet Governor Issac Ruto installation as the Kipsigis community spokesperson has been dismissed by the Rift Valley Council of Elders.
The elders have termed the move as a big joke.
Council chairman Gilbert Kabage described it as 'a big joke taken very far’.
The dismissal came after Ruto was installed as the spokesperson on Saturday at the Bomet Green Stadium on Saturday during a NASA rally.
Nasa Presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga termed the installation as a significant move.
“Installation of any leader as a Kalenjin or Rift Valley elder must be a sacred affair, which should be conducted after thorough preparations,” added Mr Kabage.
The installation has sparked a debate in the South Rift region with a section of elders distancing themselves from the activity.
