"I will work with you today, tomorrow, and all the days to come. I will bring you the Turkana County votes, there is no bargaining about that." 

Turkana Governor Jeremiah Lomorukai has openly declared his allegiance to President William Ruto.

Lomorukai noted that he was being threatened over his association with the Head of State saying there is no crime for a county boss to work with the President.

"As the governor of Turkana County, I decided from the onset that I would work with you (President William Ruto) and support your agenda. I was elected by the people of Turkana, not elsewhere, so these small threats to leaders, suggesting that a governor of Turkana working with the president is wrong, who told them that working with the president is a crime?" he posed.
