The late Baringo deputy governor Kipng’ok
The Baringo county government has opened a condolence book for members of the public to pay tributes following the sudden death of the county’s deputy governor Charles Kipng’ok.
County Secretary Elijah Kipkoros says they have set a table for condolence outside the governor’s office in Kabarnet town.
Kipng’ok was proclaimed dead at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) after developing breathing problems on Wednesday evening.
He then called on all Baringo locals to visit the county offices to offer their condolences, adding that signing of the condolence book shall continue throughout the mourning period till the date of his final send off which is yet to be announced.
“Right now, there are a lot of activities which the county government led by governor Benjamin Cheboi is coordinating in order to give our departed deputy governor a respectful send off,” said Kipkoros.
Meanwhile, the Baringo County Assembly Clerk Winnie Chemase said consultations are underway to try and see if they might postpone or not the first sitting of the Assembly, which they shall give appropriate feedback in due course to allow the burial plans of Kipng’ok.
She said the demise comes at a time when things were taking shape for the new county government whereby the Assembly was at an advanced stage to conduct the swearing in of Ward representatives, MCAs, next Wednesday.
