President William Ruto has stepped up his efforts to entrench support for his administration at the Coast by continuing to unveil a blitz of goodies while promising more.

Yesterday, the president who is on a weeklong tour of the region promised residents jobs, electricity connection, settlement of squatters, and water.

President Ruto also used the tour to campaign for the broad-based government saying it will ensure that no part of Kenya is left behind in development.
