West Pokot Governor, John Lonyangapuo explained why he described to local politician Dennis Ruto as Kijana mfupi round meaning a short person with a round figure.
In an interview conducted by KTN News, the Governor explained hilarious remark with more humor as he narrated how Ruto had acquired his figure using campaign money in 2017 when he vied for the MCA seat.
"It looks like the guy was eating all the money I was giving him for campaigns, that's why the guy is round" he stated as he laughed.
Lonyangapuo also broke down the number of votes Ruto had gained in the elections.
"He got 200 out of 20,000 votes, number 5 out of number 5," he added.
In a video that went viral on social media platforms, the Governor, clearly agitated, took to calling the man a Mulmulwas (something that is round like a ball) for causing trouble for him adding "huwezi jua tumbo ni wapi mgongo ni wapi (one can't tell where the stomach ends and where the back begins)".
On his part, Ruto revealed that the reason why he was at loggerheads with the governor was that he raised an issue about the deputy governor being absent.
Dennis, who described himself as an advocacy and resource mobilization consultant, further addressed allegations that he was trounced during the elections when he was vying for the MCA seat.
"I was not number five as the governor alleged, those were just fabrications. A serious man like me cannot get six votes," he conveyed in an earlier interview.
He, however, affirmed that he did not have any personal problems with the governor.
