Maina who spoke to journalists at Kasarani Stadium where the mega event took place, assured Ruto supporters that the new President will tour different regions to meet with them.

“Please bear with us. The cards would not have been enough but we will find a chance for you to meet Ruto. We are sorry for the inconvenience,” she said.

Maina revealed Ruto will set up his cabinet after his swearing-in ceremony, she added that the cabinet will have 50 per cent women as pledged during the campaigns.
