Governador de Bomet é condenado a um mês de prisão por desacato

Um tribunal de Nakuru condenou o governador de Bomet, Hillary Barchok, e outros 10 funcionários do condado a um mês de prisão por desacato ao tribunal.

A sentença foi proferida na quinta-feira, 18 de junho, após os funcionários não restabelecerem trabalhadores cujos contratos foram rescindidos ilegalmente. O Tribunal de Emprego e Relações Laborais ordenou que o Governo do Condado de Bomet reintegrasse os funcionários em março. O tribunal ordenou que os 11 funcionários cumpram a pena na Prisão GK de Nakuru até que cumpram a diretriz de reintegração. O governador Barchok não foi preso e continuou com suas funções oficiais, incluindo inspeções de projetos rodoviários. Ele havia anunciado planos de disputar o cargo de senador pelo Condado de Bomet pela United Democratic Alliance nas eleições de 2027. O governador enfrentou acusações de corrupção anteriormente em 2025.
