Last year, DP William Ruto shocked many after he showed up at the auction carrying KSh12 million cash in a suitcase.
He purchased 1,000 goats for his friends including some for Marakwet East senator Kipchumba Murkomen, Alfred Keter (Nandi Hills) and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
In April this year, he led an auction of about 5000 chicken in an activity that raised Ksh6 million, to promote farming in Kambi Kuku, Turbo Constituency.
