“Nimewaona na macho yangu (I have seen you insulting him with my own eyes), Kama hamtaki mtoto wenu, acha nimtoe nieke mwingine. Sitaki kuskia mambo ya matusi tena,” the President said.
The President gave a Ksh 3 million token to the boda boda riders and promised that he will be back for a major Harambee if they register a sacco.
He also gifted a 62-sitter bus to Shabana Football club.
Uhuru, accompanied by ODM leader Raila Odinga and other national government leaders also visited the nearby Nyamira county where he commissioned the construction of Chebilat-Ikonge-Chabera Road. When complete, the road will open up the region for business.

Last week, a group of youth demonstrated in Kisii demanding for Deputy President William Ruto and his allies to respect the CS. This was a day after the DP had visited Nyamira for two harambees. The Tanga Tanga group accused Matiangi of blocking the fundraiser a week earlier.
