See what Ruto did to Kalonzo at Akamba handicraft......
Deputy president William Ruto raided CORD co-principal vote turf and made fleeting donations that might make the principal curse in envy.
The DP toured Akamba handicraft in changamwe, Kalonzo Musyoka's vote basket where he assured the crafter's of government's support in improving their business.
The crafter's had petitioned the government over tax returns, land rates, construction of a show room and sheds and salary arrears to employees.
The DP said he had requested the taxman to recompute the tax arrears for the artisans.
"However, we have paid the Kshs 300,000 land rates. I also pledge Kshs 5 million for salary arrears and today I present to you Kshs 2 million," he said amidst claps of joy.
He observed that the NYS will he involved in the rehabilitation of the area at a cost of Kshs 10 million.
"The NYS will in the next two weeks bring their architect to work with management on the designs. We will also fence the premises," he said.
The move is likely to make Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka green with envy as he has not done much to the Akamba handicraft artisans who form the bulk of his supporters.
In his speech, characterised by humour Ruto also accused CORD of lacking a development agenda and focussing only on sideshows.
"CORD is not even a party, it's an NGO whose agenda is holding protests," he chided.
Ruto is on a voter charm offensive trip to the coast that is widely regarded as CORD zone.
Ruto has toured Kilifi, Taita Taveta and Kwale and is expected to address a public rally at Tononoka grounds on Sunday.
