Speaking during the event which was also attended by Uasin Gishu County Commissioner Stephen Kihara, Governor Mandago called for political decency among the political class and the general public as this will enhance political integrity and guarantee peace during and after the electoral period by creating accountability for political misbehaviour.
Mandago challenged the aspiring candidates to preach peace, promote democracy and avoid hate speech so as to sustain the conducive business environment and infrastructure built by various stakeholders in the County.

On his part Uasin Gishu county commissioner Stephen Kihara urged residents of Uasin Gishu and other stakeholders to remain vigilant and report on any leader who may want to incite communities against each other.
“Let us remain vigilant as we head to the fourthcoming elections by reporting anyone spreading hate messages of inciting residents and we promise we will take stern actions against them, ” he said.
