There was confusion after a bus that was donated by Deputy President William Ruto to a secondary school in Tigania West in Meru County was taken back to the dealers.
According to a group of residents, they claim the handover of the vehicle to Kianjai Secondary School 10 days ago was a political stunt.
However the area MP John Mutunga said, the school bus was delivered before works were completed so that Dp Ruto could inaugurate it during his three-day tour to Meru County.
Addressing residents at Rwongo Rwa Nyaki where he had attended a dowry ceremony, Dr Mutunga said the bus was ordered from General Motors but work had not been completed due to Covid-19 pandemic.
He also added that the DP had contributed Sh3.5 million towards the purchase of the bus to honour a promise he made to the school after entertaining him at Urru Stadium in 2019.
“General Motors urged us to hold a ceremonial handover and then (have) it be completed later. I cannot bring the DP from Nairobi for a fake ceremony yet we have been planning it for six months,” he said.
