Sharp differences have emerged between Kericho Governor Paul Chepkwony and Belgut Member of Parliament (MP) Nelson Koech concerning the manner in which the Sh100M tender for the upgrading of the Kerenga Airstrip was done by the County Government.

Koech, who had initially voiced support for the project, Tuesday made a dramatic U-turn by writing a formal letter to the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission to investigate the alleged skewed tendering process.
