Before they shared the statement, Kenyans online believed that the Probox belonged to some Members of County Assembly (MCAs) from Kericho County.
Propesa dismissed the claims, asserting that the Toyota Propox belongs to them. They mentioned: “We wish to rubbish rumors that have been circulating on different media outlets concerning a white Toyota Probox that was spotted earlier today at DP Ruto’s Karen residence alleged to have been ridden by Kericho county MCAs.
“We condemn with strong words the source of the unfounded rumors on the honorable MCAs from Kericho. The media should learn to confirm such stories before circulating,” the comedians affirmed.

Is there a problem enjoying life around our successful uncle? He has not said we should go home, why should media try to antagonize us with our uncle?”
