Bomet residents storm governor Barchok’s office demanding his resignation just hours after heckling him at Ruto event.
Bomet residents on Saturday evening stormed Governor Hillary Barchok’s, office to demand his resignation.
The irate residents stormed the county offices, gaining access, where they demanded that the Governor tender his resignation over what they termed as a lack of development in the County.
Despite breaching the premises, the residents did not find the governor prompting them to leave after a bout of chanting and demanding the governor’s ouster.
This incident came moments after the residents heckled Barchok him during President, William Ruto’s tour in the County.
The heckling is said to be a culmination of supremacy wars between the supporters of Governor Barchok and Senator, Hillary Sigei.
Earlier, during President William Ruto’s development tour, the residents shouted down the Governor, denying him an opportunity to speak as he ascended to the podium.
It took the intervention of the President to calm down the residents. Ruto appeared irked by the heckling which has become prevalent in his rallies across all regions in Kenya.

To that effect, Ruto warned the residents against the heckling and further cautioned politicians against paying youths to interrupt their opponents in rallies.
He also reminded the residents that they had elected the politicians and that it would be best that they vote them out during the elections seeing that they were responsible for them being in office in the first place.
“I don’t want this behaviour in meetings. You are the ones electing these leaders; the MCAs, MPs and even the governor. If someone is not working please wait for them during the elections. At the moment we are in a meeting,” stated the president.
In a recent incident, witnessed during the week in Kericho County, residents of Kericho County also heckled their governor Eric Mutai denying him an opportunity to speak at the rally.
