President Dr William Samoei Arap Ruto has been on a four day tour in the Gusii Land
for the so-called development tour.

But president Ruto decided to attack the former second in command Hon Rigathi Gachagua
and the opposition. But the president was prematurely forced to end his speech.

President William Ruto was forced to prematurely cut short his public address in
Nyagesa, Kisii County, after a sudden heavy downpour interrupted his speech midway
through a blistering attack on his former Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua. 

The President was on a development tour of the Gusii region to commission the Kenyoro
SDA–Riana Market–Kerina road project and inspect local development initiatives while
drumming up support for his re-election campaign.

Turning his attention to his political detractors during the rally, President Ruto
launched a sharp offensive against Gachagua, dismissing the Democracy for the Citizens
Party (DCP) leader’s recent criticisms of his administration. 

Addressing the crowd, President Ruto took direct aim at Gachagua’s rhetoric, characterizing
his former deputy as a political failure and hatemonger who was attempting to lecture
the executive on governance.

Rebutting Gachagua’s claims that local residents were financially incentivized to
attend the government rally, the President questioned the crowd on whether anyone
had been paid to turn up, sharply ridiculing Gachagua’s assertions as baseless political
posturing. 

However, as the Head of State intensified his critique against Gachagua and broader
opposition figures, dark clouds quickly opened up over the Nyagesa venue. The sudden
torrential rain rapidly escalated, drenching attendees and disrupting the public
address system. 

Faced with the worsening downpour, President Ruto was unable to conclude his remarks
or complete his planned itinerary for the rally.

Bidding a swift farewell to the gathered Kisii residents, the President stepped 
down from the podium and departed the venue under heavy security escort, bringing
the fiery political engagement to an abrupt halt.
