Ruto to tour S Rift amid tension with leaders

BOMET, KENYA: Deputy President William Ruto will today visit the South Rift region against a backdrop of an emerging fall out between him, governors and Members of Parliament from the region over a myriad of issues affecting the residents.

Ruto is expected to preside over the launch off Imarisha Sacco (formerly Kipsigis Teachers Sacco) in Kericho County and later a fundraiser for 27 business people whose property was gutted down by a fire at Kembu in Bomet East constituency two weeks ago. Recently, area several governors from the region snubbed Ruto’s meeting held at his Sugoi home.
