Ruto Claims To Have Spent Ksh250 Million On Boda Boda Fundraisers

President William Ruto has claimed that he has organized 200 fundraisers for boda boda operators and spent a total of Ksh250 million on the sector.

Speaking during the launch of the Boda Boda Care program at the Kenya International Convention Centre (KICC), Ruto said that the money was from his own pocket and that he has been organizing fundraisers for boda boda operators for the past nine years.

“I have used about Ksh250 million for the last about seven to nine years in harambees (fundraisers) to raise money for the people in the boda boda sector,” Ruto said.

He added that he values and respects the boda boda sector, stating that the sector is like “any other business”.

Ruto’s claims have been met with mixed reactions. Some people have praised him for his support of the boda boda sector, while others have questioned the accuracy of his claims.

It is difficult to verify Ruto’s claims without access to his financial records. However, if his claims are true, it would suggest that he has been a significant benefactor of the boda boda sector.

The boda boda sector is a major source of employment in Kenya, and it is important to support the sector in order to create jobs and boost the economy. Ruto’s support for the boda boda sector is a positive development, and it is likely to benefit many people.
