Deputy President Kithure Kindki and Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho have turned the economic empowerment drive at the Coast into a campaign for the reelection of President William Ruto.
On Saturday, Prof Kindiki and Joho led several Coast politicians in rallies at Shelly Beach in Likoni Sub-county and Jomvu Primary School in Jomvu Sub-county in support of President Ruto and the broad-based government, which they said was fashioned to benefit all Kenyans without leaving anyone behind.
The political campaign was capped with funds drives for women and youth where Kindiki dished out huge amounts of money from President Ruto.
He dismissed opposition leaders discrediting President Ruto's leadership, describing them as tribal leaders out to divide the country.
