Deputy President William Ruto has urged his supporters to turn up in large numbers for the Kenya Kwanza rally at Jacaranda grounds.
A contingent of police officers was spotted at Jacaranda grounds on Sunday morning, however, they have since departed the venue.
During church service on Sunday at Roysambu, Senator Johnson Sakaja said that the police officers had left the grounds.
“The Kenya Kwanza fraternity and the entire hustler nation wishes a blessed Sunday to all na tukutane Jacaranda after church,” Ruto tweeted.
Embakasi East MP Babu Owino on Saturday said that he had booked the same ground but advised members of the public to stay home as his rally had been cancelled.

On Sunday morning, the lawmaker insisted that he had the right to use the venue after booking it claiming that Ruto had booked the same venue but in 2021.
“I had booked Jacaranda Grounds for my function today and notified the police while Ruto booked the same venue on the same day but in 2021 as per their notification letter. I have full rights to use this ground today but let my People stay at home coz we love peace,” he tweeted.
