A woman gifted Ksh100,000 by Deputy President William Ruto was accorded police escort to shield her from the rowdy crowd that had attended his rally.
DP Ruto had singled out the mother of triplets for the donation after being moved by her emotional story during his tour of Machakos County on Thursday, December 2.
While on his campaign trail, Ruto overheard the story of the young mother who was financially crippled after giving birth to the triplets.
The mother, identified as Catherine Mutua, delivered two months ago and spent all her savings clearing the hospital bills. She was left broke to an extent she could not even afford her rent.
Moved by her story, the second in command made a donation of Ksh100,000 to help her sought out some of her financial difficulties.
While making her plea, she broke down in tears, touching the DP with her story and eventually moved in to help her lessen the burden.
Police officers were forced to escort her away from the rowdy crowds that were cheering Ruto for his kindness and also demanding a share of the money.
The law enforcement officers escorted her to a lending agent and helped her to open an account and deposited the money.
They then made sure that the woman was secure and away from the rowdy crowd before they left her.
This comes just days after another viral woman who was a maize vendor came out to reveal that Ruto had shortchanged her.
The woman went public that ever since she met the Deputy President three months ago, none of the promises the second in command made to her has been fulfilled.
“When I sold the Deputy President maize, it was my prayer that my situation was going to change entirely. When I heard he was here, I knew it was the end of my troubles,” she stated.
She however maintained that she hopes Ruto will keep his promise.
"I even wrote him a letter and gave my daughter to take it to him. She hoped that the Deputy President would read the letter and send her to school but that was not the case.
"After a long wait, my daughter came back and told me there was no hope. She said that she would go back to Kisii to continue working as a house help, so that she can support me financially."
