Deputy President William Ruto on Sunday pitched a tent in Mt Kenya region amid claims of fallout with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The second in command presided over the launch of GGV FM 97.1, a local Christian Radio Station at the Great Gospel Visioners Church, Meru County.
He said that the station will change the lives of many Kenyans through the word of God. He hailed the management for the idea he termed as great.
“The Great Gospel Visioners (GGV FM 97.1) radio station will play a central role in disseminating information and act as public eye; it will create awareness, shape public opinion and promote harmony in the society,” he said.
He also said that the station gives residents of the region will room to share their personal experiences.
“Crucially, the station entitles the people to tell their own stories, and share best experiences in the information-rich world. The Government will continue offering a conducive environment for free speech and relay of fact-based information to thrive,” he said.
Ruto was accompanied by a number of leaders during the tour to the region.
He is banking on the support from the region to ascend to power when that time comes. Some of the leaders from the region have promised not to abandon him.
