National Assembly Deputy Speaker Joyce Laboso has now claimed that Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto used millions of public funds allocated to the Bomet County government to fund his elaborate campaigns for Kanu in the just concluded Kericho senate by-election.

Speaking at the Kericho Teachers Training College on Saturday during celebrations for newly-elected Jubilee Senator Aaron Cheruiyot, Dr. Laboso said Governor Ruto will be made to account for any lost funds.

Governor Ruto was at the forefront of the campaigns for the Kanu candidate Paul Sang who lost to Mr. Cheruiyot.

On Saturday, Dr. Laboso expressed confidence that the Bomet governor would be voted out of office in the 2017 General Elections, echoing sentiments by Deputy President William Ruto, who also attended the Saturday celebrations, that Jubilee would spare no efforts to win back Bomet County.
Governor Ruto fell out with the DP after he left the Jubilee stable and founded his party known as the Mashinani Development Party of Kenya on which he is expected to seek re-election in 2017.

Konoin MP Sammy Koech regretted that Bomet had been named the third most corrupt county in kenya and called for more to be done to fight the vice , which he claimed had led to wastage of  public resources in Bomet County.
