Delegation after delegation, women, children, old and young all trooped in into.Ruto’s Karen residence, not five years ago but in the past recent weeks. They all streamed in unfettered by a silent disease that has ravaged countries and threatening the human existence. The mini but major events were characterised by Zero social distancing and zero observance of government directives but only dorning masks it is mandatory and visible to all.
It only appeared as if the COVID-19 pandemic was unseen or allergic to the Ruto events his Karen home. Deputy President William Ruto has hosted Nairobi MP, church leaders and even held huge gatherings despite the danger it posed to the country in through community transmission. However, now the chickens have come to roost as some of the delegates have been taken captive and tested positive for the Covid-19 pandemic.
These individuals who have been visiting the Deputy Presiden’s Karen home have been streaming in from different parts of the country and considering in Karen. The Deputy President has been working on overdrive to seek relevance it a time when the country is grappling with the rise in coronavirus cases. Just the other day o. Sunday he hosted religious leaders and in another were politicians from Narok. In another Ruto has hosted another delegation where MCAs and MPs from Nyamira County.
However, now the chickens have come to roost as some of the delegates have been taken captive and tested positive for the Covid-19 pandemic. From the recent visits one delegate by the name of Muteti Murimi has come out declaring that he has tested positive for Covid-19. This he has attested was close to a week after he had met with Deputy President William Ruto at his Karen home. A move that he greatly regrets and has come out so as to alert others who have visited the Karen residence.
With the numerous delegation the DP has been hosting, there has been little attention paid to the Ministry of Health directives. His Karen residence has become a breeding ground for community transmission of the virus through the exchanges of meet and greet in the recent past.
