Baringo governor Stanley Kiptis has declared to leave office if at all he does not deliver his promises to the people of Baringo.
In his statement he said, “If by 2022 I will not have worked satisfactorily then I will readily leave office and hand over to another person.”
He attributed his failure to perform to the cartels. The governor was speaking to residents of Sachangwan, Kiptuno, Kewangoi, Kiptuno villages in Eldama Ravine Sub-county on Tuesday.
He further called for support, urging the residents to give him time to familiarise and streamline county functions since he had only been in office for a year.
In addition he said, “Some people have already started saying that Governor Kiptis is doing nothing. I want to tell them a leader should be nurtured and supported so that he can get the energy and motivation to deliver.”
The governor told residents to actively participate in public forums which are used to identify and prioritise key development projects.
Kiptis dismissed his critics whom he accused of orchestrating his downfall.
“I know there are those who want this seat but am here and I will fight for it but at the moment let’s focus on development issues instead of politicking,” he said.
