Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto has threatened to sue County Commissioner Bernard Leparmarai over claims that his Chama Cha Mashinani party was interfering with the ongoing voter registration.
Ruto termed the allegations that his party was involved in the buying of ID cards from residents as propaganda, noting that they are meant to fight him politically.
"I will not take the allegations lying down. The county commissioner, who is also threatening county administrators, should be ready to answer this in court," the Governor said as quoted by the Standard.
"I have instructed my lawyers to begin the process so he can stop his chiefs who are currently going around stopping CCM membership registration," he told journalists in his office.
He accused two chiefs of destroying CCM membership registration forms in Chepalungu as well as roughing up party officials.
"We cannot work like this. A few people cannot intimidate others who do not share their ideologies. We demand respect and our democratic rights must not be interfered with," he said.
