Deputy President William Ruto youth empowerment program approached by criticism from the Raila-Uhuru side.
Already they have nicknamed the program as a Wheelbarrow project and further termed it as Wheelbarrow nation from Hustler Nation.
“As an mp, overseeing CDF, there were no wheelbarrows & carts. As a minister, there were none. As number two, the first term, none was there. When friction entered Jubilee & a faction created, desperate moves for church Harambee, Wheelbarrows, carts, the tag of hustler started. Why? “Philip Etale stated.
“I’m seeing a situation where William Ruto will form a political party with a wheelbarrow as the party symbol then will push a narrative of the Rich VS the Poor, ” Ogola Joseph, a diehard ODM member posted.
” Just imagine for a minute if the cost of doing business in Kenya was easy and access to affordable loans made simple. How many of our youths would be travelling to Guangzhou and Dubai weekly for business. But folks will still tell you that a wheelbarrow is empowerment, ” another one posted.
” The Ruto side has angered the handshake side into demeaning/mocking/looking down on Juakali, wheelbarrows, mkokotenis etc otherwise known as hutslership. In other words, they have created a war between over 90% of Kenyans & team handshake. How will team handshake get out of It?, ” another one posted.
If you were hungry today, if your children were hungry today, if you had no hope whatsoever today, you would take any help to survive today whether a wheelbarrow or a job to clean the city. We have failed to fight corruption NOT the poor. We have failed the economy, NOT the poor.

There is no difference between Kazi Mtaani & DP william Ruto's Wheelbarrow and Mkokoteni campaign. In both instances, the youth push Wheelbarrows. The funny part is, in one instance, one is the owner of the Wheelbarrow in another instance one is a conduit for others enrichment.😂

The Ruto side has baited the handshake side into demeaning/mocking/looking down on juakali, wheelbarrows, mkokotenis etc otherwise known as hutslership. In other words, they have created a war between over 90% of Kenyans & team handshake. How will team handshake get out of It?

You can't condemn DP Ruto's Wheelbarrow initiative and praise Kazi kwa Mtaani initiative. These two are Two sides of the same coin. These two are not what the youth deserve. You cannot use one for political mileage and condemn the other. Wajinga Nyinyi kweli.🤔

In almost every town or urban settlement, there are people who earn a living through hawking of Fruits, Vegetables and even cloths.
Now @WilliamsRuto decides to contribute into their hustle by donating wheelbarrows.
Look at what wheelbarrows do.✅Mama Mboga

A Kikuyu without a WHEELBARROW is like a FISH without a Bicycle.
