The two-hour debate allowed electorates from Kiplombe Ward to interact by asking questions to their leaders.
Speaking to the press Brian Kibia from thee Transparency international said the main ain of the debate id their electorates to do a social audit for their leaders before electing them.
“Leaders are allowed to come and meet with the people and tell them their manifesto and what they would do for them if elected in office.
“It’s a social audit debate which we have started in Kiplombe and we will be doing it for the next six days in the six Sub -Counties in Uasin Gishu County so that we ensure people know their leaders who are
vying for different seats and their manifesto as see how they can help them,” said Kiboi.
The questions that were asked included those on integrity where they agreed to uphold and respect it in case they are elected and ensure that there is transparency.

“For now we are doing one session per sub-county we want leaders to respond to the
needs of the people and guarantee them that they are able to deliver on their mandate.
