The old geezers have expressed anger at Deputy President William Ruto for allegedly misusing their cultural attire, which they say can only be used on special occasions and by delegated elders.

The old men took issue with the organisers of last week’s visit to the DP’s home in Sugoi, Uasin Gishu County, claiming they had betrayed the Kikuyu culture in exchange for money and now demand an apology from Dr Ruto.
