Deputy President William Ruto met with pastors in the Ngata neighborhood of Nakuru. Ruto began his campaign there because it is thought to be a key battlefield for the presidential election. Ruto’s significant donations to the church have drawn criticism from some political figures on numerous occasions.
The campaigning for Deputy President William Ruto in Nakuru began with prayers at a clergymen’s gathering at local Senator Susan Kihika’s house in Ngata. Starting in Ngata in the Rongai constituency, Ruto’s Nakuru chapter campaigns moved on to Mbaruk in the Gilgil constituency, Kinamba, and Kihoto in the Naivasha constituencies. The Kenya Kwanza presidential candidate is touring the area to raise awareness of his campaign and meet with various interest groups.
A group of Nakuru county officials, including Susan Kihika, a senator and governor candidate, and Tabitha Karanja, a senate candidate, followed him. “We know who stated in a rally when it rained, ‘Mungu anatukojolea,’ and we know who would stand with the church,” Kihika argued for her position. The goods speak for themselves, as they say in law.
