The Baringo Governor has finally presented a list of 10 county executive nominees, which includes
the widow of slain former Tiaty MP aspirant Pepee Kitambaa.
Stanley Kiptis' list is based on regional balance. It was given to assembly clerk Richard Koech on
Thursday after more than 400 applications were reviewed.
But it was not debated as the House adjourned for recess until
November 2.
Kitambaa's widow, 38-year-old
Mary Chebet, was named as executive for
county health services. She is the assistant chief nurse at Kenyatta hospital.
