KANU in kericho

Deputy President William Ruto yesterday apologised to residents of Kericho county over unfulfilled promises.

Speaking in his local dialect, Ruto said he is sorry if they feel neglected by the government or taken for a ride by not fulfilling the pledges he made

Keter is my neighbour, I know him. He behaves like a rogue bull charging at everybody on his way,” resident Paul Chirchir said, amid an uproar from the crowd.

He said it is wrong for Ruto as a father to favour one child to the detriment of others.

“I assure you there will be chaos at home,” Chirchir said

But when he stood to address the crowd, Ruto first apologised, saying all the pledges made by the government to Kericho will be fulfilled.

He promised a road contractor will be on site in three days.

“If it does not happen within three days, ask me,” the DP said.

He said the contracts have already been awarded and the first phase of the roads to be tarmacked is in Kericho.

Ruto said he was not pledging the goodies because of the by-election, but fulfilling the promises he made.
