Opposition leaders have accused President William Ruto of using State-sponsored goons, State machinery, and his allies to disrupt their rallies and block them from addressing Kenyans.

In their Western tour, which attracted crowds at several stops, pockets of violence rocked their incursions after rowdy youths attacked their convoy while en route to Chwele, Bungoma.
