Chaos between groups rallying behind Governor Hillary Barchok and Senator Hillary Sigei forces MP Osoro to scamper for safety.
Chaos engulfed a National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) event in Bomet County on Saturday graced by Bomet Women Representative Linet Toto and attended by various leaders.
The scuffle started after groups rallying behind Governor Hillary Barchok and Senator Hillary Sigei clashed.
Chaos was fired up after South Mugirango MP Silvanus Osoro castigated the divisions in the rift region where groups were aligned with different leaders.
MP Osoro while belittling the local formations said President William Ruto was the only reigning kingpin, not only in Rift Valley, but throughout the country.
“We are not interested in regional kingpins at this moment. We only have one countrywide kingpin and he is President William Ruto. We don’t have kingpins from small areas,” said Osoro.
The MP’s speech was disrupted by a section of the attendees who started shouting, forcing him to give up the microphone.
The noise graduated by the second as the crowd went out of hand.
Both the governor and the senator could not get the chance to address the attendees of the event; they apparently left in a huff in their convoys.

Osoro was also forced to leave the venue in the company of other leaders.
Following the event, Bomet Woman Representative Linet Toto took to her social media platforms, downplaying the chaos, and described the event as a success.
”The launch of NGAAF countywide projects and Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) at Bomet Green Stadium was a resounding success, thanks to the dedication and collaborative spirit of our esteemed leaders,” stated Toto.
”With the support of our community and the dedication of these esteemed leaders, I have no doubt that we will continue to make great strides in our pursuit of a brighter, more inclusive future for all,” she added.
