Hussein Mohammed, Communications Director of William Samoei Ruto Campaigns, has come under fire after he was captured pushing an elderly woman moments after the presidential debate at Catholic University of East Africa had been concluded.
The incident occurred when Kenya Kwanza flagbearer William Ruto, his wife Rachel Ruto and other leaders of the alliance were taking their leave. Hussein is seen signaling the woman to stop and give way to Rachel and other leaders who were behind her.
The ugly scene came moments after the poor woman was captured near Ruto, who was giving his remarks after the debate with netizens suggesting that her role only role was for the photo session just for PR purposes and after that they were done with her.

Leaders who accompanied Ruto to the debate include his running mate Rigathi Gachagua, Ford Kenya senator Moses Wetang’ula, ANC’s Musalia Mudavadi, Machakos governor Alfred Mutua, National Assembly speaker Justin Muturi among others.
Speaking after the grilling, Ruto noted that his main Competitor, Raila Odinga did not make it to the debate because he does not have a plan for Kenyans..
“We didn’t quite get down into the real manifesto issues. I would have hoped that my competitor would have been here so that Kenyans would have the benefit of looking at both sides unfortunately it is understandable that there is only one plan in this election, the Kenya Kwanza plan the other side have sketches and that is why they are not here,” Ruto noted.
Ruto further said that Raila could not come to the debate because of conflict of interest following his union with the sitting head of state.
