Deputy President woes in opposition strongholds took another twist on Monday after he was blocked from accessing Bungoma Bus Stage, where his handlers had organized a public rally.
Ruto, who was heckled by Narok residents last week, had addressed a gathering at Mumias town and was headed to Bungoma.
According to the star, the DP changed route from Mumias-Bungoma road and opted to use Mateka-Kanduyi road, where he addressed a gathering later on.
Taxi Association chairman Collins Opata told the Star that they decided to block Ruto's convoy due to unfulfilled promises by the Jubilee administration.
"We are tired for be taken for a ride by the DP. He has been here many times yet our region lags behind development. We wanted to show him that he is not needed here," he said.
His visit comes barely a day after Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi toured the region.
Also, opposition leader Raila Odinga is expected in the region later on this week after his North Rift tour that commences on Tuesday.
