Uasin Gishu Deputy Governor John Barorot resigns from his positions after missing several key county functions
Uasin Gishu Deputy Governor John Barorot resigns from his positions after missing several key county functions.
Uasin Gishu Deputy Governor John Barorot has resigned.
John Barorot made the announcement at a meeting with senior county staff at the Eka Hotel in Eldoret in the presence of Governor Dr Jonathan Bii.
A Formal announcement is to be made shortly at the Uasin Gishu County headquarters.
His resignation comes barely a week after he dismissed claims that he had quit office.
The claims emerged after Barorot on Thursday skipped President William Ruto’s event for conferring City status to Eldoret sparking speculation over his whereabouts.
In an interview, he termed the reports on his resignation as rumours but did not explain why he was absent from the key event in the city.
There has been speculation over his working relationship with Governor Bii but two weeks ago during a prayer meeting at the county headquarters, Governor Bii told the gathering that Barorot was on leave.

“Sorry I forgot to tell you that our Deputy Governor engineer Barorot is not with us here because he is on leave but we are together in all this,” said Bii.
Engineer Barorot missed almost all preparations for the elevation of Eldoret to City status except one where he praised the role of the media in branding and marketing the new city.
Barorot is known to be a very reserved person who embraces a simple lifestyle and most of the time drives himself in the town.
When they took over, Bii and Barorot worked closely attending functions together.
