Elgeyo Marakwet Governor Alex Tolgos has suspended his campaigns following the death of former Cabinet Minister Nicholas Biwott. "In solidarity with the family of Hon Nicholas Biwott, I wish to inform the people of Kabiemit ward that my tour has been postponed." "This is to enable us condole with the bereaved family of Biwott and Elgeyo Marakwet county at large," Tolgos said. "Despite people depicting him as a powerful and mysterious man, he always advised all and sundry publicly," Tolgos said. The governor said that though Biwott was known as powerful, at personal level he was a down to earth person.
