“If you are a resident of Kibra, as the Jubilee government we want to construct houses, so that if you are paying for instance Sh 4,000 0r Sh 5,000 after 15 years the house becomes yours,” said Ruto.
He also promised to have a technical training college constructed in Kibra.
“I am also aware that so many youths here have no jobs…. if you elect Mariga on November 7, on November 8 we shall sit down with him so that by next year we have a training college here,” he said.
He further said all the construction projects in the area will benefit the youth as they will work with the local youth.
