Mogotio Member of Parliament Reuben Kiborek lost his phone on Thursday, April 30, in Bomet County.
In a statement on his Facebook Page, Kiborek questioned why individuals from his own community would target him and take his phone.
The UDA lawmaker asked Bomet Senator Hillary Sigei to urge the individuals who took his phone to return it to him.
Kiborek vowed to reward individuals involved once he gets his phone back.
“But the people of Bomet, why would you steal my phone when you are my own people? Sharp boys. Lawyer Hillary Sigei, let them just return it so I can ‘organize’ them. It’s good to reward talent,” said Kiborek.
