A Rift Valley governor was recently forced to flee from a hotel when rowdy youths stormed in, baying for his blood.

The man has blamed a senior politician from the region for his woes.

The politician, the governor says, had declared he would deal with him for not toeing his line.

The governor’s troubles started when he declared support for the politician’s rival in the region.

The county boss is now mulling beefing up his security.
