‘Ruto Must Go’ chants erupted on Friday, May 2, during former Interior CS Fred Matiang’i’s homecoming tour in Keroka, Kisii County.
In a video seen by Nairobileo.co.ke, Kisii residents who turned out in large numbers to welcome Matiang’i chanted ‘Ruto Must Go’ while others chanted ‘Matiangi’.
The former Interior CS made his first public appearance on Friday as he kicked off his Nyamira and Kisii counties tour.
Addressing locals in Nyansiongo town, Nyamira County, Matiang’i said he would work with like-minded leaders ahead of the next generation election.
“I have heard everything you have said. I want to assure you that we will talk with other like-minded leaders to walk together in this course,” said Matiang’i.

The former CS was accompanied by Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo, Kisii Senator Richard Onyoka, nominated senator Gloria Orwoba, and Nyamira Senator Okong’o Omogeni.
The tour comes days after Matiang’i was welcomed to the opposition team led by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
The team also includes: former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi and former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi, People's Liberation Party leader Martha Karua, DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa, Torome Saitoti, and Mukhisa Kituyi.
Matiang’i jetted back into the country from the United States on April 17, where he was working with the World Bank.
He is being fronted by the Jubilee Party to vie for the Presidency in the 2027 general elections.
