\nAfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Deputy President William Ruto\u00a0is expected to visit Nyamira and Kisii counties this week for a series of fundraisers, barely a month after holding similar events there.<\/p>\n

According to his allies in the region, Dr Ruto will help raise funds for various churches at Miriri in Kitutu Masaba Constituency and boda boda riders at Sironga in West Mugirango Constituency, Nyamira County on Thursday.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Ruto will be heading to Kenyenya in\u00a0Bomachoge Borabu Constituency in Kisii County\u00a0for a fundraiser for various women\u2019s groups. This comes barely one month after he held a fundraiser for boda boda riders in Kitutu Chache South Constituency and another for women\u2019s groups in South Mugirango Constituency.<\/p>\n

Kisii Deputy Governor Joash Maangi told africa-press that Ruto would visit the two counties to support needy groups and asked those who might be harbouring plans to interfere with the tour to hold their horses and wait until he has left for them to organise their own fundraisers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people of Kisii and Nyamira are ready to welcome the deputy president on Thursday and Friday purely to carry out fundraisers to support churches, women\u2019s groups and the youth,\u201d said Mr Maangi.<\/p>\n

Gusii Parliamentary Caucus chairman Joash Nyamoko called on the people of Kisii and Nyamira counties to turn up in large numbers to welcome Ruto.<\/p>\n

The North Mugirango MP appealed for political tolerance and said the people of Gusii would not like to see a repeat of what happened last month when some youths burned tyres in Kisii town and littered Nyamarambe Stadium prior to Ruto\u2019s tour.<\/p>\n

Bomachoge Chache MP Alpha Miruka said any leader was free to visit any part of the country. He asked Kenyans to respect Ruto as the country\u2019s deputy president.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
