DP Ruto Heckled During Relaunch of EABL Plant in Kisumu County

Deputy President William Ruto was on Wednesday heckled and jeered when he tried to address the crowd during the relaunch of an East African Breweries plant in Kisumu County.

Ruto was forced to cut off his speech and pass his microphone to President Uhuru Kenyatta to continue with his speech.

When President Kenyatta started speaking the crowd continued to shout "We don’t want Ruto".

The Head of State and his Deputy had earlier on addressed residents at Ahero and Kisumu bus parks on their way to the EABL plant.

Elsewhere, National Super Alliance(NASA) leaders were forced to cut short their rally in Kabarnet, Baringo County after a section of the crowd heckled and jeered them.

The group claimed they disrupted the rally after they received reports that the Deputy President had been heckled during Jubilee's tour of Homa Bay County.

"We welcomed Raila to our home but we heard that his people have heckled Ruto. That is not right," said a member of the crowd.

Others claimed that there were hate leaflets against Ruto being spread in the area causing panic among the residents.
