Storm over Deputy President William Ruto’s forays into Raila Odinga’s turf

Deputy President William Ruto’s sustained visits to CORD stronghold of Western has rattled the Opposition.

Initially, Ruto was discreet about the tours, explaining his visits as inspection of development projects. But confronted last week by Kakamega Senator Bonny Khalwale, Ruto said wooing voters from the populous Luhya community was not an offence. The DP has been taking advantage of prayers and fundraisers in the CORD dominated region to sell the Jubilee agenda.
