On August
14, 2026, President William Ruto commissioned the 41km Bukembe-Nzoia
Market-Mutomolo road and access routes in Kanduyi Constituency to boost
connectivity and local economies.
Speaking from atop a vehicle to massive
gatherings, he accused Uhuru Kenyatta of funding opposition rivals, prompting
chants of “Sifuna! Sifuna!” from some residents and a sharp rebuke from Jubilee
leader Fred Matiang’i.
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki condemned the back-and-forth as prideful bigotry, while Ruto called for unity beyond tribalism ahead of 2027 debates.
