President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua on Thursday purchased goats worth Ksh.15 million at the annual Kimalel goat auction in Baringo County.

Presiding over the auction, President Ruto announced that he would purchase 1,000 goats at a price of Ksh.15,000 each together with his deputy.

Hundreds of leaders who were in attendance also bought goats ranging between 150 and 5.

President Ruto allowed the other leaders including Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, Governors, Senators and MCAs to purchase each goat at Ksh.13,000 after a moment of grumbling over the premium Ksh.15,000 price.

Last year, each goat fetched Ksh.12,000 at the Kimalel goat auction which is meant to benefit the local communites.

Some of the leaders present included Transport CS Murkomen who purchased 150 goats, MP Oscar Sudi (150), MPs from Baringo (120), Governor Cheboi (100), Belgut MP Nelson Koech (100), KNCCI President Dr. Eric Ruto (100) Senator Cheptumo (50).

All payments, the President said, would be made in cash.

“Mambo nimawili… hakuna deni na hakuna cheque. ni cash,” said Ruto while leading the auction.
