Minority tribes in Nakuru have urged Governor-elect Lee Kinyanjui to consider them for key appointments in his administration. Speaking to The Standard, the chairman of the Ogiek Council of Elders, Joseph Towett, said marginalised communities such as the Ogiek, the Turkana, and the Somali should be included in the county's development agenda.

"Minority communities have for long been fighting to clinch elective positions but tribal voting trends have barred them from clinching seats," Mr Towett said.
