The patients are said to have displayed signs of nausea, headache and stomach upsets after consuming the food, especially sugar. Kiambu County health department also confirmed that samples had been collected from the victims to test them.<\/p>\n<p>The food supplies, which included\u00a0maize flour and sugar were distributed to residents of Karai and Nachu wards in Kikuyu Constituency. They were packaged in bags branded in a manner suggesting that they had originated from William Ruto Foundation and MP Kimani Ichangwah.<\/p>\n<p>The red bags also had \u201cStay Safe\u201d writing beaming on them.However, the area MP Kimani Ichungwah distanced himself from the food distribution saying that they must have been donated by political rivals keen to soil the name of Deputy President Wiliam Ruto<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are not our foodstuffs and we are not distributing anything openly and on vehicles on roads or stadiums and even the fake branding and items are not anything close to what we are distributing,\u201d the said.<\/p>\n<p>He confirmed that he and DP Ruto were indeed donating food supplies but were using the religious leaders to identify the deserving recipients.\u201cA family that consumed the sugar suspect it was poisonous as two of them have been treated after consuming it\u2026Inform all your neighbours.<\/p>\n<p>Any support from our office will be delivered to your houses by your known neighbours and church leaders,\u201d he further said.Another rejoinder came from the William Ruto Foundation which also distanced itself from the poisonous food supplies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe William Ruto Foundation would like to categorically and unequivocally distance itself from the distribution of relief food that has affected residents of Kikuyu Constituency.\u00a0The donations in question are not from the William Ruto Foundation,\u201d read a statement from David Mugonyi, the Communications Secretary\u00a0in the Office of the Deputy President.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Kenya: Kiambu Governor James Nyoro (pictured)\u00a0has condemned an incident in which a section of Kiambu residents was given relief food which later turned out to be poisonous by unknown donors.
