Nyamira County senator Okong’o Omogeni has called on Deputy President William Ruto to stop making unnecessary tours to Gusii region.
The senator said Ruto should focus on serving Kenyans and stop early campaigns ahead of the 2022 elections.
“Ruto is moving around Gusii region to bribe Gusii leaders so that they can persuade the community to support him for presidency in 2022.
"I wish to advise Ruto to stop touring the Gusii region unnecessarily because the community will never support him to become president,” he said.
Okong’o noted that Ruto is being cheated by Gusii leaders who lost during the last year’s polls to give them money to feed their families because they are not earning salaries.
“It is worrying that Ruto is going round Gusii region with political losers such as Omingo Magara who lost the Kisii County senate seat.
"The money he is giving them to campaign for him is only meant to help people like Magara to feed their families and not campaigning,” he added.
He called on Gusii community members not to fall into the tricks of political losers and ensure they support current elected leaders to boost development in the region.
