He emphasized that Kindiki remained fully engaged with the community and had only missed the event due to health reasons, adding that the Deputy President continues to stand with the residents of Baringo.
“I have been sent by the Deputy President, who is not feeling very well. He told me that when I arrive, I should convey his greetings to the people of Baringo, and he has also sent me with a lot of money to buy Christmas goats. Therefore, if you see that the Deputy President is not here, he has sent me and he is fully with you,” CS Ruku noted..
