Situation as Thousands Escort Ruto in Kisii Town as He Leaves His Motorcade to Walk on Foot, Details

President William Ruto attracted attention during his development tour of Kisii County after leaving his motorcade and walking on foot along a muddy road in Kabosi, Bobasi Constituency.

The unusual moment occurred on Wednesday, November 11, after heavy rainfall made it difficult for vehicles in the presidential convoy to access the project site. Rather than continue in the vehicles, Ruto and members of his entourage proceeded on foot.

Images shared on the President’s official social media accounts showed him walking alongside local leaders, government officials and security personnel. The photographs captured the muddy conditions that had affected movement in the area.

Ruto was visiting Kabosi to launch the construction of the Nyagesa-Rianyamanga Road. The project is among several infrastructure initiatives featured during his three-day tour of the Gusii region.

The President has maintained that improved road networks will make transportation easier, connect communities and support economic activities. Better roads are particularly important to farmers and traders who depend on reliable transport to move their products to markets.

The Kisii visit has also attracted significant political attention, with local leaders accompanying the Head of State during various public engagements.

Earlier, Ruto launched the Kenyoro SDA-Riana Market-Kerina Road in Bonchari and participated in other development activities across the region.

However, the heavy rainfall disrupted parts of his programme. His address to residents in Kabosi was also interrupted by the downpour.

The decision to walk along the muddy stretch became one of the notable moments of the presidential tour, with photographs of the incident circulating online.

The visit forms part of the government’s efforts to showcase ongoing infrastructure projects while engaging residents ahead of the 2027 General Election.
