President William Ruto on Thursday, August 15 sensationally told Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua that he would give him a city.
Addressing Uasin Gishu locals in Eldoret City, President Ruto told Gachgaua he would give Nyeri town city status if he talked to him nicely.
“Ukiongelesha vizuri ninaweza kupupanga na city pia ya kule Nyeri sindio? Si huyu jamaa nimupange na city pia? the President posed.
This was after DP Gachagua said the President would now be having a city at his home while he on the other hand will be going back to the village.
“You are from Nairobi City, and now you have a city at home. You are ahead like a shirt pocket. But the president has left me in the dark, so when I leave Nairobi City, I go to the village. But I say it’s okay, I will also get a city one day,” said Gachagua.
President Ruto on Thursday conferred Eldoret Municipality with city status in an event held at the Eldoret Sports Club.
