President William Ruto’s allies in Mt Kenya were met with public anger during the third day of his regional tour.

Kimani Ichung’wah, the Kikuyu MP and Leader of Majority in the National Assembly, was the first to confront the crowd’s ire  when the President handed him the microphone to speak at Ol Kalou, Nyandarua County, where the tour began yesterday.

As Ichung’wah took the mic, he was immediately booed. The crowd, which had earlier listened attentively to ICT Cabinet Secretary William Kabogo, turned hostile towards the Kikuyu MP.
