President Ruto Unhappy, Admits He Was Not Impressed After He Was Forced to Watch Chaos in Narok

President William Ruto has admitted that he was not impressed by the chaos he witnessed in Narok, describing the clash between two groups at the Maa Cultural and Tourism Festival as an embarrassment to him and a poor picture of local politics.

The details have emerged from two sources. A.M Media shared the remarks on its verified X account, while Standard Digital has published a summary on its verified Facebook page.

According to sources, the President has said the fighting involved two brothers who turned on each other at his event because of politics. In Kiswahili, he called it a very bad picture and a source of shame for him.

The President has said there is only one gubernatorial seat, which can be held by one person at a time, and that if it could be split in two, he would have given Patrick half and Gabriel the other half.

He has asked that such a mistake never be repeated in his presence. The remarks, as shared, do not give the men’s surnames.

Standard Digital has summarized the same message by saying the President has called the violence, which left scores injured, a poor show for the country and urged political leaders to rein in and calm their supporters.

The unrest unfolded on Saturday. Citizen TV Kenya reported a fierce clash between rival groups, and a newspaper account said stones being hurled at guests and leader at the main podium.

This is after MP Tongoyo was badly heckled as Narok Governor also faced same fate from the MP’s supporters.

Reactions to the remarks are expected to be mixed, with some seeing a needed rebuke of local rivalries and others asking why the call for calm came a day late. Police have not said whether arrests have been made. More details are expected.
