Among those who contributed in absentia was Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko.

Receiving the governor's contribution sent through Duale, DP Ruto revealed that Sonko contributed one million shillings.

The amount was equal to what was contributed by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

About twenty-eight million shillings was contributed at the fundraiser.

Pundits see Ruto's visit as a political move to woo the Somali vote ahead of the 2022 general elections.
