The late Catherine Kasavuli’s son Martin Kasavuli on Thursday, January 12 recounted his encounter with President William Ruto in 2015.

Martin who was speaking during his mother’s requiem mass at Friends International Center Ngong Road described the Head of State as a keen person after following their 2015 meeting during the burial of former minister Mukhisa Kituyi’s son Ivar Makari.

“In 2015 my good friend the son of Mukhisa Kituyi passed. I sat next to the deputy president who had graced the occasion. One thing I noticed about the President is that he read every page of the programme and he asked me questions that I should have known and I was caught flat footed,” he recounted.

Martin also thanked the Head of State for supporting him in various instances.

“There has been a lot of speculations in the media and rumours that I do not wish to speak on behalf of the President. All I want to say is thank you very much and God bless you,” he added.

His remarks come days after President Ruto donated Ksh 5 million to offset the late Catherine Kasavuli’s hospital bill and burial expenses.

“Our one and only President and Commander in Chief has dispatched one million shillings in support of the programs ahead of the burial of our sister Catherine Kasavuli. Apart from that he has also committed to clear the outstanding medical pending bill in the hospital,” the message read.
