Ruto Rolls Out Millions For Young Entrepreneurs , In An Attempt To 'RE-BRAND'
Jul 2, 2020
Deputy President William Ruto is dishing out millions to small businesses to solidify his appeal to the "hustler nation".
The DP has opened his purse to various youth and women groups in a fight back strategy to raise his profile ahead of 2022.
Ruto has donated shoe shining stands, laundry machines, salon items, tailoring machines, water tanks and welding machines.
He has also given out car washing machines, motorcycles, animal feeds and sewing machines.
The second-in-command, who has fashioned himself as the leader of the poor majority, is reaching out directly to the people after losing favour with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
But his critics have laughed off his rebranding and accused him of using state office to gain political mileage.
In recent weeks, the DP has hosted hundreds of women and youth groups at his Karen office.  
He has met groups from Embakasi Central, Starehe, Dagoretti South, Embakasi North, Embakasi West and Langata constituencies.
On June 18, he decried the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on small and micro enterprises run by the youth and women.
