Governor Ruto injured during clash with Jubilee supporters – PHOTOS
Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto is nursing injuries sustained during a confrontation between his Chama cha Mashinani supporters and those of Jubilee Party at Silbwet Stadium on Sunday.
Police were forced to tear gas the crowd to quell the situation.
The governor was whisked from the venue by his security personnel.
He was airlifted to Nairobi on Monday where he was seen with a heavily bandaged right arm.
“The Police attacked me and my supporters with several tear gas canisters. One canister hit me on the face. I am in pain but feeling much better, but as you can see my eye has a problem and I am heading for treatment,” Mr Ruto told journalists at the Wilson airport.
Governor Ruto blamed the police for intimidating and harassing people who do not support Jubilee Party in the region.
