President Ruto calls for tolerance after Kericho Governor Mutai booed in his presence

President William Ruto’s development tour of Kericho County was marred by local politics, as residents shouted down Governor Dr. Erick Mutai as he rose to address the crowd in the Head of State’s presence.

The President condemned the incident calling on residents to exercise restraint and utilize their power at the ballot during the next election to hold non-performing leaders accountable.

Ruto, who was accompanied by his deputy Rigathi Gachagua and a host of other leaders, used the tour to popularize his administration's development plans as he launched different projects.

And on a day that doctors downed their tools in the country, the President while opening the Belgut Technical Training Institute and Belgut TTI Digital Hub, maintained that his government was ready to roll out the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and called on locals to register for the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) saying they do not want to leave anyone behind.

“Sasa tuko tayari kuroll out Universal Health Coverage in Kenya na nataka kila Mkenya ajisajili upya ili tuweze kumeet malengo yetu manne...tuko na health promoters 200, 000 na tunataka hawa waanze pale bottom pale chini,” he said.

“Tunataka wafike pale wakuje na tumewapatia kila kitu, ya pili tunataka kila mmoja ajisajili na kama ulikuwa unalipa Ksh.500 sasa utalipa Ksh.300.”
