Deputy President William Ruto has vowed to wither teargas and vowed to continue with his wheelbarrow empowerment tours by all means.
The self-declared hustler postponed planned tours in Nyamira after police dispersed residents who had gathered ahead of the meeting.
Taking to Twitter, Ruto lashed out at police, accusing them of disrupting peaceful meetings.
He said on Thursday, “After consultations with MPs Kemosi, Mose,Nyamoko, the bodaboda sacco and church leadership who had invited us, we have postponed the two functions in Nyamira County to Thursday next week.”
“The disruptive dispersal by police of Kenyans engaged in economic empowerment is unnecessary.”
Earlier, police officers in Nyamira County used teargas to disperse crowds that were awaiting Ruto at Kebirigo High School.
The DP was scheduled to arrive at the area on Thursday after a cabinet meeting in Nairobi.
The officers entered the school compound and told a band playing music to stop before ordering them out saying no function would take place at the venue.
