Thursday October
10, 2019-Political analyst and lecturer at the University of Nairobi, Herman
Manyora, has claimed that Kibra residents visiting Deputy President
William Ruto's residence may be going there with the hope of getting some
money.
Speaking on Thursday,
Manyora stated that if his sources were to go by, then, the DP was not
using a good strategy for the Kibra campaigns in which he's supporting McDonald
Mariga.
"I have heard that
people going to the DP's residence are being given money and if people
associate your campaign with money, then you are ruining your own campaign
because they will take the money but vote for someone else," he
stated.

“Besides, you are
drawing too much attention to yourself and the EACC and DCI might decide to
act,” he added.
On Wednesday, the DP's
Deputy Spokesperson, Emmanuel Talam, defended Ruto's move to host Kibra
residents in the posh residence after hundreds of youth stormed the home
in Karen.
"I didn't know it
was a crime for DP Ruto to host his neighbours from Kibra at his posh residence
in Karen. Our sincere apology to those offended," Talam posted on
Twitter.
Initial reports claimed
that the contingent from Kibra had made its way to DP Ruto's home after
learning that he was to address a meeting of the Abagusii Community.
However, chaos erupted
after the youth were denied access to the residence.
