William Ruto’s handouts are causing fights as his own allies including Boni Khalwale, Mohammed Ali and others are accused of stealing donations denying people the money.
Ruto has been donating millions in cash whenever he visits different parts of the country, however only a fraction of these monies reach the intended recipients.
Ruto’s handouts has now become a serious threat to his presidential campaigns because the donations fail to reach the masses causing change of heart.
The DP donated generously to Coast people during his week-long tour, however there were several reported cases of people fighting over handouts.
Residents in Kaloleni, Kilifi county staged protests immediately Ruto left demanding to be given handout that the DP gave them through their local leaders.
Traders in Kongowea market in Nyali constituency, Mombasa county also cried foul after the handout given to them ‘disappeared’.
Ruto visited Kongowea market in Nyali Constituency on October 16th and gave traders Ksh2 million to boost small-scale businesses.
The DP was accompanied by Nyali MP Mohammed Ali who was given the money to distribute it to traders at the famous market.
Kongowea traders through their chairperson Richard Nyangoto lamented that only Ksh700,000 was given to them of the Ksh2 million that Ruto dished out.
The traders say the remaining Ksh1.3 million was deposited to private accounts as they were left to fight over Ksh700,000.
Fight erupted in Kakamega on Thursday morning October 28th over Ksh1 million handout that Ruto gave residents days earlier during his tour of the region.
Chaos ensued during a press conference that had been organized by Isukha Ward MCA who is a strong supporter of Ruto.
The MCA and youths blamed former Kakamega senator Boni Khalwale of stealing Ksh1 million donation made by Ruto to assist the youth as well as small scale businesses in the region.
The youth clashed and forced the press conference to end prematurely, police were called to restore order.
