Governor Barchok Holds His Ground at Bunge Towers Amid Senatorial Queries
Bomet County Governor Prof. Hillary Barchok remained unshaken yesterday as he faced questioning from Kenyan Senators at Bunge Towers. Amid allegations and concerns over county projects and public fund management, the governor demonstrated composure and confidence, responding to the Senators’ inquiries with clarity and resolve.
Political observers noted that Governor Barchok’s presence at the parliamentary session sent a strong message: attempts to intimidate or pressure him will not succeed. You cannot sell fear to Governor Barchok, commented Mokimuen Makatet Kipng’eno, reflecting widespread sentiment among his supporters who believe the county chief is committed to defending his administration’s record while ensuring accountability.
As the session unfolded, Barchok outlined ongoing efforts to accelerate stalled development projects, enhance service delivery, and ensure fiscal transparency. Analysts suggest that his firm stance at Bunge Towers not only reinforces his leadership image but also signals a readiness to engage directly with oversight bodies to address county challenges head-on.
