Matiang’i accuses Ruto of using cash to mobilise crowds during Gusii tour

Speaking during a service at Magena Main and Central SDA Church in Bomachoge Borabu Constituency, Matiang’i also accused Ruto’s administration of incompetence and said criticism from the opposition reflected concerns over how the country was being run.

Jubilee Party leader Fred Matiang’i has accused President William Ruto of using money to mobilise crowds during his Gusii tour, claiming the President was recorded discussing Ksh.2 million for mobilisation in Keroka, Nyamira County.

Speaking during a service at Magena Main and Central SDA Church in Bomachoge Borabu Constituency, Matiang’i also accused Ruto’s administration of incompetence and said criticism from the opposition reflected concerns over how the country was being run.

“These people are speaking because everyone is wondering how you are so horribly incompetent, how you have failed to run the country, and your incompetence is written all over the place,” he said.

Matiang’i acknowledged that he lacked money to finance his presidential campaign. In response to criticism over his campaign finances, he pointed to the government-to-government deal, Kenya Pipeline, KCC and Safaricom shares, saying he had neither taken part in the deal nor sold any of the assets he named.

After the church service, Matiang’i addressed a rally at Magena Market in Bobasi Constituency ahead of a larger rally in Kisii County on Sunday.
