The killing of Fredrick Cheretei, the Loyamorok Member of County Assembly and Symon Kitambaa, a parliamentary aspirant for Tiaty constituency in Marigat town, Baringo County has led to an escalation of tension in the area.
Given the bad blood between the communities in the area, there is imminent danger of misguided reprisals. While we cannot speculate on the cause of the attack, no doubt, the choice of targets points to political rivalry.
