Tori gocha ase emechango yekanisa buna eye, ogochia amatanga oka...na gochia bono onye noboibi obwo, gochia oria okorusia nke twareterwa igaa naintwe twanyora egento giaito igaiga (If you have never stolen public monies, where do you get the monies you use to traverse the country? You only go to funerals and never to harambees in churches...and if it’s about theft of funds, then better this one who steals something small and he brings it to us here," Osoro stated, speaking in the local Abagusii dialect

Osoro was part of a delegation of four MPs who accompanied DP Ruto to two different rallies in Nyamira County.

He spoke at Gekano Parish on Saturday afternoon before the DP addressed the church congregation where he had gone to raise funds.

He rallied the public behind the DP, stating that the community stands to gain immensely from the wealth that DP Ruto has ammasd.

"He has organised himself and you know polls is about eating well’(sic), we don't milk a bull, we go for a heifer and this is the person who can give you enough milk," the MP said.

Ruto who has been on a tour of the Nyamira county was the chief guest at a harambee in Tente SDA Church where he donated Sh. 1.5 million.
