'Wait for 2027!' Angry Ruto lectures crowd for booing Governor Barchok in Bomet
President William Ruto has condemned the
public heckling of Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok during his visit to the devolved
unit on Saturday.
The
President, while addressing a rally, called for order and restraint as he
lectured the residents for booing the county boss in his presence.
Trouble
started when the Head of State gave a go-ahead to Governor Barchok to address
the crowd, but the residents were having none of it and instead shouted the
county chief down.
President
Ruto then stepped in, attempting to calm the unruly residents who continued
their heckling, urging them to be patient and utilize their power at the ballot
during the next election in a bid to hold non-performing leaders accountable.
“Mimi
nataka niwaambie hivi…kulete mambo hii kwa mkutano mimi staki…nyinyi ndio
mnapanga MCA, MP, Senator, ata huyu Governor...Nataka mtulie na mkuwe watu wa
kusoma barua ikiwa ndani ya bahasha,” he said.
“Kama
kuna mtu ambaye hajafanya kazi, mngojeeni siku ya uchaguzi mtamalizana na yeye.
Lakini kwa sasa, tuko na mkutano, wacheni aongee.”
The
incident follows a similar action just a day earlier by Kericho residents where
they booed Governor Dr. Erick Mutai.
President
Ruto was forced to intervene as he called for tolerance to allow the Governor
to address the crowd.
