Deputy president William Samoie Ruto’s Jacaranda rally almost came to a stop after his supporters and those of Embakasi East member of parliament Babu Owino clashed.
From a video seen by Sonko News, chants of “Tunataka Babu Hatutaki pesa” filled the air which interfered with Ruto’s jacaranda rally for some time.
The visibly angry youths at the Jacaranda stadium went round the field singing Babu’s name which made the deputy president’s rally to begin late.
As a result, the men in blue had to chip in to bring some elusive peace as the supporters shouted down the deputy president for the better part of the rally.
On his side, Ruto filled the air with insults directed at the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga and Babu Owino.
Without providing evidence, he accused Raila of organizing chaos at the jacaranda stadium and threatened him with dire consequences.
He also made it clear that he could not buy fear from the youths who were determined to stop the political rally.
As at 2PM, Ruto’s jacaranda rally had not recorded any crowd, with the Embakasi legislator taking a swipe at him that his support in the area was diminishing despite ferrying crowds.
“The whole Tangatanga team can not mobilize People.Current situation at Jacaranda ground in Embakasi East plus those ferried from other areas. Embakasi East imezama kwa Azimio.” Wrote Babu Owino.
At the same time, Ruto promised to create millions of jobs for the unemployed youths should he take power. Consequently, he rubbished the 6,000 economic stimulus package and termed it as a mere politics of handouts.
The second in command also promised to eradicate poverty amongst the bodaboda youths and mama mboga by giving them over 100 billion shillings annually to help them do their businesses.
