Are Mt Kenya youth the only ones that need empowerment?\u201d he posed.<\/p>\n<p>Murathe maintained that the DP had camped in the region and not bothered to empower youth in his own backyard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen did you last hear the Deputy President going to Eldoret or to Nandi or the larger Rift valley to empower women or deal with boda boda riders from his backyard?\u201d Murathe wondered.<\/p>\n<p>He accused the DP of juxtaposing the rich and the poor, hustlers versus dynasties saying this was a remedy for chaos and the re-invention of the outlawed Mungiki outfit.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Ruto has come under fire for donating wheelbarrows to the youth explaining the act as one of economic empowerment.<\/p>\n<p>ODM Leader Raila Odinga has criticised the DP\u2019s style of campaigning as Ruto maintains a section of Kenyans had been left out in the development journey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou give out wheelbarrows to the youth yet you have not shown them where to go and build\u2026 What will he do with the wheelbarrows?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the critics trying to slow him down, the DP has not backed down and continues to tour the region that is largely considered President Uhuru Kenyatta&#8217;s stronghold.
