A section of residents of Nakuru town has raised concerns over the Monday move where Deputy President William Ruto carried Sh10 million at a goat auction in Kajiado County at a time when Kenyans are facing harsh economic times.
Led by Nakuru business person Simon Ole Nasieku, the locals are surprised that the Deputy President can carry such huge amounts of money when Kenyans are suffering.
“I am very saddened by the move by Deputy President on Monday to carry huge sum of money to a tune of Sh10 million at a goat auction in Kajiado County. I think the President should now mean it when it comes to lifestyle audit. Kenyans are suffering,” said Nasieku.
Similar sentiments were echoed by Nakuru residents association chairman Eliasif.
“The economy is deteriorating each and every day but even as this happens there are leaders who have such amounts to dish out. It is high time that leaders think about the welfare of the common man,” said Magoma.
DP Ruto bought 1400 goats at Sh7500 each during the Monday function.
Last year On December last year, the DP spent a staggering Sh12 million for 1,000 goats at the annual Kimalel goat auction in Baringo County.
