The deputy president for the first time on Friday had one of his recent meetings face opposition by a section of legislators from the Luhya nation.
Western region MPs on Friday clashed over the significance of the meeting held Thursday at Ruto's Karen office. The deputy president met with 19 legislators from the Western region in an attempt to woo the region.
However, a section of leaders from the region have since criticised the meeting claiming that it was meant for personal gain of some individuals.The leaders seemed not to recognise the meeting that was chaired by the deputy president at Karen.
"We can not support the meeting that is focusing to spearhead the political destiny of an individual," claimed Godfrey Osotsi, ANC nominated member of parliament.
Mr. Osotsi claimed that any reason that it was a meeting meant for development projects in the Western region was a false one.
Kakamega senator, Cleophas Malala also denounce the meeting claiming that it was basically do drive some hidden agenda of a section of Western MPs.
"If this meeting was was meant for development, it would have involved all the leaders from the region. But in a case where a particular group of leaders is invited, then it depicts a hidden agenda," said Mr. Savula.
The deputy president toured the coastal region a fortnight ago where many leaders in the region pledged support for his 2022 election.
