President William Ruto's development tour of Narok County, accompanied by his deputy Kithure Kindiki, has sparked major controversy due to some of his statements viewed to be untrue. Residents of Narok became entangled in a web of deceit surrounding the President's promises, which included the resettlement of 13,000 families evicted from the Mau Forest to facilitate the conservation of this important water tower.
His remarks concerning 5,600 acres of land belonging to the estate of former Provincial Commissioner Isaiah Cheluget have sparked controversy, leading to speculation that the president was not truthful.
While addressing Narok South residents at the Sogoo trading centre, Ruto claimed that he had consultations with the late Cheluget to purchase the land for the resettlement of the squatters. "Mimi najua tuko na matatizo mawili hawa wabunge na waheshimiwa wenu wanenieleza.
Tuko na shamba hapa ya Cheluget imetuletea matatizo siku mingi.
