### Ime ihe ike megide Seroney
Seroney had been physically harassed, beaten, and even denied permits to hold public rallies and where he did, they were disrupted. It was clear that someone desperately didn't want him to go back to Parliament. According to Peter Sang, an Eldoret businessman and supporter of Seroney, there was a deliberate scheme to rig out Seroney right from the start. He narrated a story told to him by H. K. Burrows the proprietor of Ogirgir Tea estate who found a mob of rowdy youth that had captured Seroney, roughed him up, spat on him all over, soiled him and mocked him in public as he was on the campaign trail.

Burrows batara ma mee ka ndị otu ahụ tọhapụ Seroney. Onye na-akwado Seroney bụ John Rugut onye ọrụ ibe Sang na Kibwari Tea Estate bụ onye hụrụ ihe isi ike a.
