On August 3, 2019, news broke out that four people had been arrested for stealing 10 crates of eggs worth Sh2,500 from Deputy President William Ruto's farm in Sugoi, Uasin Gishu County.
Former Kakamega senator Boni Khalwale, a known supporter of Ruto, expressed his outrage on Twitter, questioning how the thieves managed to break into the farm despite its supposed protection by police officers from the General Service Unit.
"I am saddened by the news that four strangers broke into DP Ruto's home and steal food meant for his early morning visitors like me despite the home being protected by GSU. Just how did it happen? Police must explain & provide enough security so that no one also steals his chicken," Khalwale tweeted.
As Ruto's 2022 presidential bid gains momentum, Khalwale's outburst suggests that the Tanga Tanga campaign is taking security concerns seriously.
