Ruto scolds security guard
A light yet dramatic scene unfolded on Friday when President William Ruto seemed to scold a security guard for preventing members of the public from entering during an event in Busia County.
This incident took place at the groundbreaking ceremony for new hostels at Bumbe National Polytechnic in Funyula Constituency, where the President was engaging with residents from atop his vehicle.
He was joined by several leaders from Western Kenya, including National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and Cabinet Secretary for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Development, Wycliffe Oparanya.
While discussing his administration’s initiatives to enhance electricity access in Busia County, the President momentarily paused his speech to address a disturbance at the entrance of the venue.
“Kuna mtu mwingine amefunga gate hapo. Wewe unafunga gate, unafungia wananchi gate, kichwa yako ni mzuri? Wewe fungua gate hapo, bure kabisa, mwambie afungue gate wananchi waingie ndani,” the President said.
(“There is someone who has closed the gate there. You’re locking out the people — is your head okay? Open that gate! Tell him to open the gate so that the people can come inside.”)
The remarks, which drew laughter and cheers from sections of the crowd, came after the President appeared to notice that some members of the public had been denied entry into the compound.
The exchange briefly disrupted the event, with several attendees seen recording the moment on their phones before the President resumed his speech.
