Deputy President William Ruto has blamed the resistance he is facing in selling his "hustler" narrative to people opposed to eradication of poverty.
Ruto, who spoke at a church event at Kenol, Kandara Constituency in Murang'a, said some leaders were uncomfortable with his ongoing conversation on youth empowerment and had resorted to using violence to divert attention of Kenyans from important issues. "All these problems are a creation of those who are opposed to eradication of poverty. It is time to talk about empowerment of ordinary Kenyans," he said.
