In a surprise turn of events, Kericho's gubernatorial aspirant, Dr Erick Mutai, became emotional after villagers pooled resources to fundraise for his bid.

The first such incident took place in Nandi Hills where, in November 2021, villagers raised Sh1.6 million for parliamentary hopeful Wesley Kogo's campaign. Unfortunately, Mr Kogo died in a road accident at Kangemi on April 7, 2022.
