Baringo Senator Gideon Moi was on Saturday blocked by rowdy youth on his way to meet Talai elders in Nandi.
According to reports by the Star, a section of the elders had invited Moi to Kapsisiywa for blessings, days after the elders blessed DP William Ruto as the Kalenjin spokesman and leader.
The incident happened at around 4am along Sangalo-Kabiyet route where the youth had blocked the road, claiming that the community blessings had already been given to Ruto.
