Controversial Baringo County Assembly  Speaker William Bill Kamket has told off  Baringo ‘’flying‘’ legislators  that sympathy will not guarantee their stay in leadership in the next general election .

He told the ‘’sky team’’ (Baringo lawmakers) that  nothing in pretense should cheat them that they will be re-elected in 2017  because of their closeness with the Deputy President William Ruto.

Speaking during Baringo thanksgiving prayers held in Kabarnet, Baringo County, he said  reelection bid will be based on their performance in their constituencies not their support  to the Deputy President.

‘’I urge you legislators to prepare well  for a healthy competition in 2017. This will be a fight of men which will determine the right choice of leaders to lead this country. It will not be the choice of parties, but  election of new crop of leaders advocating  for change,’’ said Kamket.

The pro–KANU and Tiaty  Constituency hopeful candidate roasted the section of MPs present at the thanksgiving mass for meddling with KANU affairs.

Baringo legislators present were Sammy Mwaita (Baringo Central) Grace Kipchoim (Baringo South ), Moses Lesonet (Eldama Ravine) William Cheptumo (Baringo North) and Grace Kiptui (Baringo County).

He advised them to remain committed to promises they made during their campaigns instead of engaging in empty rhetoric to  citizens.

Baringo South MP Grace Kipchoim and her Baringo North counterpart  William Cheptumo who appeared angered with Kamket’s sentiments said Kamket’s cheap politics should not bother Jubilee politics.

Kipchoim alleged that the speaker is behind cases of insecurity in parts of Baringo.

The MP’s however distanced themselves from his sentiments and termed  his comments as KANU propaganda aimed at intimidating  Deputy President’s achievements.

Baringo Governor Benjamin Cheboi at the event thanked Kenyans for their unity in praying for Deputy President William Ruto and Journalist Joshua Arap Sang.
