President William Ruto has been accused of taking credit for a technical college project in Kiharu previously launched by MP Ndindi Nyoro. On April 24, he commissioned an ICT hub and student hostel construction at Kiharu Technical and Vocational College. Viral videos show Nyoro's commemorative plaque was covered during the visit amid their political rift.
President William Ruto visited Kiharu Technical and Vocational College in Kiharu constituency, Murang’a County, on Friday, April 24. He commissioned an ICT hub and launched construction of student hostels, presenting them as the government's investment in TVET centres.
Viral social media videos show a plaque commemorating Nyoro's March 2026 launch of the facility—after NG-CDF completed the tuition block—was covered with tape during Ruto's visit. Locals later removed the tape, revealing Nyoro's name. The MP did not accompany the president.
Nyoro and Ruto were once close allies, with the president previously stating he was mentoring the MP as a potential successor for 2032. Their fallout followed the 2024 finance bill protests, which led to Nyoro's removal as budget committee chair. Nyoro now criticizes Ruto's policies and has launched constituency projects boycotted by government officials.
