President William Ruto’s aide, Farouk Kibet, on Friday presided over a women empowerment program at Kimaeti RC Primary School in Bumula Constituency, Bungoma County.

Kibet, who was accompanied by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka, Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot and over ten Members of Parliament drawn from across the country, among them David Ndakwa of Malava and Innocent Mugabe of Likuyani, called on residents to support President Ruto’s second term bid.
