Deputy President William Ruto has jolted down a response dissociating the hustler nation from the chaos that erupted during the Kisumu tour.
On Wednesday, November 10, Ruto tried to sell his Bottom-Up strategy to Kondele residents, Kisumu County, before he encountered rowdy youth.
Speaking over the matter, Ruto stated that 'hustler nation' does not involve itself in the use of violence and that his model would bring an end to the regressive culture of stone-throwing.

"The Hustler Nation disassociates with leaders and political groupings that use violence to advance their selfish cause.
"Our plans and programs will ensure that the youth are liberated from regressive stone-throwing culture by engaging them in gainful activities that will better their lives through the Bottom-Up Economic Model," Ruto remarked.
Some youths demanded Ruto hand them money, while others chanted Orange Democratic Movement(ODM) slogans.
The Second-in-Command was then forced to cut his speech to support his presidential bid as the youths threw stones at his motorcade.
"Kisumu hii ni Kenya. Na Kisumu hii tutahakikisha tumekomboa Kisumu kutoka mambo ya mawe," Ruto stated amid the chaos.
This led to the use of teargas by the police to disperse the crowd to guarantee the safety of Ruto and his motorcade.
He is on a three-day charm offensive tour to win the Former Prime-minister, Raila Odinga's backyard.
