Candidate announcement
NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 10 – President William Ruto has vowed to overcome resistance to his government’s development plans in Trans Nzoia, taking aim at the Tawe movement associated with Governor George Natembeya, which opposes his re-election bid.
Speaking in Endebess during his tour of Trans Nzoia County, Ruto accused local leaders of opposing government projects and warned that he would not allow political differences to derail development in the region.
“Mnajua hiyo maneno ya Tawe, Tawe, Tawe hapo ya ujinga… ya kupinga kila kitu. Hiyo maneno tutasort out, tutasonga mbele,” Ruto said, in remarks targeting the movement.
