KENYA: A meeting that sought to popularise Bomet County Governor Isaac Ruto’s Mashinani Development Party of Kenya (MDP) failed to kick off Saturday after police cordoned off the venue.

Security officers said the meeting that was scheduled to take place in Sogoo, Narok South and attended by Ruto and MPs Johana Ng'eno and Alfred Keter lacked a necessary permit.
