President Ruto calls for tolerance after Kericho Governor Mutai is heckled in his presence.
President William Ruto’s development tour of Kericho County was marred by local politics, as residents shouted down Governor Dr. Erick Mutai as he rose to address the crowd in the Head of State’s presence.
The Kericho governor was heckled at an event where President William Ruto was commissioning the Kapsuser-Sosiot Road.
While other speakers had a humble time addressing the audience, Mutai’s time was met with unfriendly chants from the crowd.
When the president invited the governor to speak, the crowd started heckling and indicating to the head of state that they did not want Mutai to address them.
Despite the president’s presence, the audience refused to remain calm; they shouted and demanded that he hand over the microphone.
“Thank you, Mr. President; here in Belgut, we have a problem with the market, and I know the problem here. We appreciate the tarmac road, and as a county, we have done cabro roads, and we plan to complete them,” Mutai said as the crowd heckled.

Mutai, who appeared annoyed by the booing, slammed the resident, saying he would not allow such behaviour in Kericho.
“This is bad manners, and it should stop because, in Kericho, we shall not allow such kind of behaviour. As a governor, I will not allow this trend, and I have said we must work,” he told the crowd as the president watched in disbelief.
The President condemned the incident calling on residents to exercise restraint and utilize their power at the ballot during the next election to hold non-performing leaders accountable.
Ruto, who was accompanied by his deputy Rigathi Gachagua and a host of other leaders, used the tour to popularize his administration’s development plans as he launched different projects.
