Kapsoit MCA Paul Chirchir has spoken out against the use of violence and intimidation in political competition, following a distressing incident he experienced at an event in Jagoror, Kipkelion East. Chirchir alleges that Kiptoiyot, along with his office staff and bodyguard Kipkemoi, hired goons to intimidate and harm him.
Tarimbo, who has expressed his intention to unseat Aaron Cheruiyot as Kericho senator in 2027, escaped with minor injuries. He condemned the use of violence and intimidation, stating that such tactics undermine fair competition and reflect poorly on the character of those who resort to them.
The MCA just posted a photo is him being attended to in hospital telling the extent of the beating. In his statement, The MCA urged everyone to embrace peace, uphold integrity and decency, and stand united against injustice. He called for those who perpetrate such acts to be held accountable.
The incident highlights the need for peaceful and respectful political competition, where ideas and policies are debated and discussed without resorting to violence or intimidation. Chirchir’s condemnation of such behavior is a positive step towards creating a better society, where political competition is fair and just.
As we approach the 2027 elections, let us strive for a peaceful and respectful political environment. Only then can we truly achieve a better future for ourselves and our communities.
