On November 11, 2021, Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o released a statement exposing the chaos that erupted during Deputy President William Ruto's rally in Kondele, Kisumu.
The chaos, which involved pelting stones at DP Ruto's motorcade, was allegedly sparked by a handouts sharing saga among hustler nation supporters.
While pointing out former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, and former State House Digital Strategist Dennis Itumbi, Governor Nyong'o warned the trio to desist from peddling lies and untrue propaganda against the Kisumu County Government.
"In these malicious rants, the activists led by former MP Boni Khalwale, Oscar Sudi, and Dennis Itumbi claim that the chaos was planned and executed by employees of the Kisumu County Government. This is not only false, but utterly ridiculous, careless, and a figment of imagination by these political hirelings struggling to please their paymaster," the letter reads.
Governor Nyong'o challenged UDA legislators to attach solid and tangible evidence that would bring the perpetrators to book, stating, "We challenge the perpetrators of this false narrative to prove that the County Government planned, met its employees, and instructed them to stone Mr. Ruto. Such proof must be accompanied by real evidence to cause chaos in Kondele."
