Higher Education Minister William Ruto, Igembe South MP Mithika Linturi and his North Imenti counterpart Silas Muriuki encountered a hostile crowd as ‘Yes’ supporters attempted to disrupt their campaign at Kiraitu Murungi’s South Imenti constituency.
"I am surprised you came here yet this was supposed to be a ‘No’ campaign meeting," said Linturi, amid deafening chants of ‘Yes’ from the crowd waving the Green flags.
Mixed shouts of slogans
No' team received yet again hostile reception at Nkubu town, Imenti South District.
Hundreds of ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ supporters nearly clashed during a campaign rally to reject the Proposed Constitution but police acted fast to separate them.
"We shall ensure we floor the Proposed Constitution, which, if passed, would impoverish Kenyans," said Ruto amid mixed shouts of ‘Yes’ and ‘No’.
The Eldoret North MP, who had earlier addressed rallies at Kibirichia in Meru Central District and several roadside meetings in Meru town and Kariene market, said he was sure of ‘No’ victory in the August 4 vote.
"I have been in Meru the last two days and I am certain Meru is only 10 per cent ‘Yes’," said Ruto.
Meanwhile Tigania East MP Peter Munya yesterday decamped from ‘No’ to ‘Yes.’ "From today, I am saying ‘Yes’ to the Proposed Constitution," Munya told The Standard on Saturday.
His defection was welcomed by Energy Minister Kiraitu Murungi.
