A Migori teacher laments over his un-informed of resigning from his job in addition to selling his property to support Ruto presidency in 2022 polls.
A section of President William Ruto’s diehard supporters continues to lament for allegedly being shortchanged since he assumed office.
And now, Omboga Michael, a teacher in Rongo, Migori county is in distress after resigning from his position to support Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid.
“I am a professional teacher. I resigned to campaign for William Samoei Ruto in this party called United Democratic Alliance (UDA),” Omboga said.
Speaking to NTV on Friday, June 9, Omboga said it was in the Luo Nyanza where he was fully branded, UDA man.

“I even sold my piece of land to popularise UDA in the Rongo constituency. Even Ruto came to Rongo because of me after I registered over 10,000 people in this constituency and popularised his UDA party,” he added.
Omboga also claimed that Ruto the then-Kenya Kwanza presidential candidate promised that he was going to give him and others jobs once he forms the government.
“He (Ruto) even promised to give us capital to start businesses. He said, “ng’ombe ni kubwa” (the cow is big” but am surprised today. My children cannot even go to school. I have no money at all,” Omboga further lamented.
According to Omboga who unsuccessfully vied for the Rongo parliamentary seat on a UDA party ticket, Ruto cannot even pick up his calls or respond to them.
“What is happening to this country right now? Ruto has fully shortchanged us in this country called Kenya. Those of us who pioneered UDA in Luo Nyanza have been shortchanged heavily. Those who didn’t campaign for him have greatly enjoyed all the possible comforts whereas we continue to languish in poverty,” he added.
