President William Ruto has spoken out against certain UDA leaders, accusing them of orchestrating disruptions during his recent visit to Bomet County. The incident, which saw Governor Hillary Barchok and Senator Hillary Sigei heckled in his presence, prompted Ruto to condemn such actions and urge leaders to prioritize development over divisive tactics.
Ruto’s rebuke came after supporters of both Barchok and Sigei engaged in disruptive behavior during his tour, causing disruptions throughout the event. Expressing his disappointment, Ruto emphasized the need for elected leaders to focus on delivering their promises to the electorate rather than inciting chaos among rival supporters.
