Ruto campaigns for Mariga

DP Ruto has been in the forefront to campaign for the Jubilee candidate in Kibra although they have faced harsh criticism from their rivals ODM.

On Sunday the DP spoke of a now-or-never situation and told Kibra people they are being given the opportunity to make the changes by voting for Mariga.

"Kibra will never remain a hotbed of violence, a slum, a place synonymous with poverty... We will never be lied to again," he said.

Dr Ruto cited development projects in the Nairobi constituency, which he said Jubilee will continue with under Mr Mariga's leadership.
