The office of the Deputy President has announced a tender of Kshs46 million for the refurbishment of DP William Ruto’s second home in Mombasa.
According to the tender, the contractor will be tasked with upgrading the residential property that belonged to the Coast Provincial Commissioner (PC) to suit the DP.
“Proposed completion of the refurbishment works to the former PC’s home, Mombasa for the HE the Deputy President,” read the notice.
The state also plans to splash Kshs50 million for the Deputy President to have an office space at the coastal city.
This was arrived at after they revealed that leasing a home and an office for Ruto would pose a security threat.
Other refurbishments to be undertaken include Kshs35 million for his Nairobi office along Harambee Avenue and Kshs15 million for his state-given Karen home valued at Kshs400 million that he does not even occupy.
The DP opted to live in his private residence and only uses the state property for official meetings and hosting delegations.
Ruto’s new Mombasa home has already consumed taxpayer’s Kshs7 million with the state’s treasury already allocated Kshs39 million for the repair compounding the figure to more than Ksh46 million.
The property is currently vacant and was once occupied by former Coast Regional Coordinator Samuel Kilele.
The DP had previously spent working tours to Mombasa at beach hotels.
