"We had a meeting to see areas which need our attention, to ensure, there is an enabling environment for people who want to participate on nominations and in relation to what we have recently witnessed where aspirants had goons, we have planned ourselves and we will deal with them accordingly," added the Uasin Gishu County Commissioner.
He said that the security team will ensure that there is a peaceful UDA party primary since it's a rehearsal for the August 4th elections.
