Deputy President William Ruto now says that police reservists in the troubled Kerio Valley were withdrawn to punish him and his supporters.

The UDA Presidential candidate was speaking during the presidential debate, where he said that during the Jubilee government's first-term, security in the valley which stretches to the counties of Baringo, Elgeyo Marakwet, Pokot and Samburu was under control as a result of the reservists.
