It seems like there’s a positive development with UDA supporters in Eldoret re-erecting their party’s wheelbarrow symbols after they were destroyed during the Finance Bill protests. The town is now returning to normalcy with minimal security presence, and businesses have resumed operations while repairs are underway in affected areas.
One of the wheelbarrow symbols has been prominently reinstalled at the Kisumu road junction in the town center. This action follows peaceful demonstrations by President William Ruto’s supporters in Eldoret the previous day, indicating a step towards reconciliation and restoration of public spaces.
“The president has responded well to the issues raised and as residents of Eldoret we stand with him,” said an elder Benjamin Leting.
Church leaders in the region led by ACK Bishop of Eldoret Christopher Ruto also met and called for calm as the president works out to restore normalcy in the country.
“We now must refocus our energy to strengthen peace and deal with the socio-economic issues raised by our youth,” said Bishop Ruto
