Bomet Deputy Governor Dr. Hillary Barchok was Thursday sworn in as the new county boss in a ceremony held at the Bomet Green Stadium.
The swearing-in ceremony was conducted by Kericho High Court Judge George Dullu.
The Bomet governor’s seat fell vacant following the July 29 demise of Dr. Joyce Laboso who succumbed to Cancer at the Nairobi Hospital.
She was laid to rest on August 3 in a State funeral at her matrimonial family home in Fort Ternan, Kisumu County.

The incoming county boss, Dr. Barchok, now faces the uphill task of naming a fitting deputy governor following rallying calls by women leaders, led by Kirinyaga Governor Anne Mumbi, during Laboso’s funeral for her successor to appoint a female deputy.
