Akizungumza huko Maua, Kaunti ya Meru akihudhuria ibada Jumapili, Rais-Mteule Ruto alisema walikuwa na makubaliano na Linturi kwamba iwapo atashinda katika uchaguzi wa Agosti 9, angempa kazi.

Kando na Linturi, viongozi wengine wa Kenya Kwanza ambao hawakufanikiwa kushinda viti vya kisiasa katika kaunti ya Meru pia walinufaika na kitendo chake cha fadhili, huku akisema kuwa watajumuishwa pia serikalini kusaidia nchi kujiendeleza.

"We agreed with Franklin that if I am elected president, I will share the seat with him. So don't worry and also those who probably didn't get a chance, I want to assure you that you will have a part in our government so that we can move forward together and so that we can handle the plan that we sold together with them for the development of the Kenyan nation," Ruto alisema.

Rais mpya aliyechaguliwa alitoa shukrani zake kwa watu wa Meru kwa msaada wao na kuahidi kulipa wema wao kwa kufanya kazi bila kuchoka kuleta mageuzi katika eneo hilo.

“We came before you, you did not despise us, you listened to us, welcomed us, believed in us and voted for us. Today I have come here to say thank you very much. Meru was county number four where we got a lot of votes."
