President William Ruto has accused his predecessor, retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, whom he portrayed as a sponsor of some of his political opponents.
Speaking to residents of Maili Nne, Huruma and Eldoret City in Uasin Gishu County, Ruto questioned Uhuru's record on affordable housing, Universal Health Coverage and education, challenging Kenyans to compare the former administration’s record with his government’s programmes.
“Yule sponsor wao si alishindwa na maneno ya affordable housing, si alishindwa na mambo ya universal health coverage, si alishindwa na maneno ya kusomesha watoto wetu?” Ruto said.
