In Narok, 59 people were presented in court for taking part in a riot.

45 of them pleaded guilty and each was fined Sh2, 000.

14 pleaded not guilty and each was granted Sh10, 000 bond with one surety or Sh5, 000 cash bail.

The hearing is scheduled for October 12, 2022, following the mention on August 29, 2022.

This came after Ntutu and Kenta’s supporters clashed at the county tallying center with each of the teams claiming victory before the official announcement by the electoral body.

This saw Narok County Commissioner, Isaac Masinde, convene a security meeting of top security officers in the county to address the security challenges.

Consequently, the police banned the two factions from holding meetings in Narok town before the results were officially announced.

Further, Masinde called on the IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati to intervene following the delays.
