DP Ruto Meeting Governor Obado

Lately Kenyan politics is switching to surprises with the likes of president Uhuru promising their 2022 election stand to be a shocker not to mention the surprise he gave Kenyans together with Raila when they unveiled the uniting handshake.

The latest surprise is Deputy president’s visit to Obado. William Ruto indeed spent Sunday night at the Rusinga Lodge in Homa Bay County after spending the weekend in Western Kenya where he presided over several public functions.

Previously, Mr Ruto only visited Kisii, Nyamira, Kuria West and Kuria East, the only Nyanza areas that in the past leaned towards Jubilee Party.

“We want to build one united country without political or tribal bias,” Mr Ruto said at the Maranatha Church Assembly in Migori town.

The embattled Migori Governor Okoth Obado today hosted Deputy President William Ruto in Nyanza where the latter is seeking to make inroads.

All the ODM lawmakers from the region gave Mr Ruto’s event a wide berth with only Kuria West MP Matthias Robi and his Kuria East counterpart Maisori Kitayana attending.

Ruto said he will make more development tours in Nyanza region and pledged to return to Migori County in February next year to conduct a fundraiser for all the churches in the region.

The visit comes barely a month after the Senate by-election whereby Ruto was said to be fronting the Federal Party of Kenya’s Eddy Oketch who came second to ODM’s Ochillo Ayacko while Obado also asked his supporters to vote for Oketch.

The election however took place when he was away in custody over the murder of his girlfriend Sharon Otieno and her unborn baby.

Last Wednesday, the county boss held rallies at Nyabisawa and Masara centers to prepare the ground ahead of Ruto’s visit.

Before his detention, Obado was at loggerheads with the Orange party after he opposed the party’s move to hand Ayacko a direct ticket.

He vowed to campaign against the Orange party, a move that angered the luminaries when he threw his weight behind Eddy’s quest.

Speaking separately, Kuria East MP Marwa Kitayama defended the DP’s forays in Migori county maintaining that he is marketing the government development agenda.

“The DP’s visit to Migori county is purely for development not 2022 politics. He is on record that politicians should shun the 2022 talk and deliver on the promised they made to the people,” he said.

Kitayama said there is nothing strange in the DP visiting Migori as he is serving all Kenyans regardless of their political affiliations.

Do you believe Ruto and Obado’s agenda of meeting was only for development of the county?
