President William Ruto had a rough time on Friday after his rally in Meru was disrupted by a section of rowdy residents who shouted him down.
Ruto, who is on a two-day developmental tour of the Meru region was forced to cut short his speech and lecture the rowdy residents who were shouting him down as he delivered his speech on affordable housing plans.
It was not immediately clear what caused the heckling but irked Ruto took minutes to lecture those who were disrupting his rally. He warned that he will not tolerate any kind of shoutings and hecklings in his rally, adding that he had gone to the region to take developments
“Hebu tuelewane, watu wa Kiutine, mnaniskia? siasa ya makelele mimi sitaki, hii siasa ya makelele ni siasa mbaya, nyinyi vijana nataka kuwapangia kazi ya ajira, mambo ya kuja kupiga kelele kwa mkutano sitaki, msikie vizuri. Sisi tumekuja hapa kupanga mambo ya maendeleo ya Meru, tabia kama hii mimi sitaki tena kwa mkutano ya rais, hii ni kukosa heshima. Kila kiongozi apewe heshima. Kuna siku mtakuja kuamua, kama mtu hajafanya kazi si mtamfukuza nyumbani?” warned Ruto who looked very angry
He lambasted the hecklers, saying such behaviour belongs to ODM party and not his UDA rally.
“Hii tabia ya kelele ni mambo ya ODM, hatutaki haya mambo ya ODM kwa mkutano ya UDA. Hii tabia iwe ya mwisho leo, tumewapangia kazi ya housing na hatutaki mtumike kwa tabia kama hii…we dont want this kind of nonsense, sisi ni watu wa maendelea, mambo ya fujo kuna wenyewe mambo ya kupangiana kwa mkutano kama hii ikome” added Ruto
