Voters in this county should do the same," noted Rev Misigo who is also an aspirant for the Huruma MCA seat."It is disappointing that such aspirants go on a drinking spree with our youths and electing them will be the biggest mistake," he added.Uasin Gishu women representative seat has attracted over 10 aspirants. They include former Judiciary Chief Registrar Gladys Boss Shollei, former Eldoret South MP Peris Simam and Kemboi Maraba, a county social worker.Others are; Pauline Chebet, Millycent Jerono Rotich, Mary Goreti, Irene Malel, Loose Kibor, Rael Lelei among others.
