'Men’s Conference Chairman' seat officially declared vacant after Kibor burial

Following the burial of the late ‘Men’s Conference Chairman’ Mzee Jackson Kibor at his farm in Samitui, Uasin Gishu County on Friday, the position has now been declared vacant.

The announcement was made by the conference’s national convenor Albert Kochei, who has since urged all interested persons to apply for the position.

According to Kochei, a committee will be formed to vet the qualifications of all persons who might eye the seat.

“We need hard-working, upright and respectable men who have proved to be defenders for the boy child to come forward and take over the vacant position,” Kochei told the Nation newspaper.

Kibor, 88, passed away in March at St. Luke’s Hospital in Eldoret after a long illness, where doctors confirmed his two kidneys had failed.

The prominent farmer was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for some time before doctors confirmed his death on the said date.

He had been using medical oxygen since October 2020 after he contracted COVID-19.

He had an oxygen cylinder at his home and another in his Prado vehicle for use whenever he wanted to visit Eldoret town for treatment or business.
