Deputy President William Ruto has received a huge boost in his quest to support Mtito Andei sex workers.
On Wednesday, William Ruto announced that he had received a KSh 1 million pledge from a woman who is ready to support Mtito Andei sex workers.
He dismissed those criticising the appeal of the sex workers led by a lady named Caro who approached him for help.
“Caro and her group are real people, Kenyans in a real situation. When I said that I am going to support the team to stop the business they are doing.
I have received many people who are willing to contribute. Immediately I got on to my phone in the evening, one lady told me she is going to give KSh 1 Million,” William Ruto said.
The Deputy President added that his bottom-up economic model is meant to cater for such people by giving them an opportunity to do decent jobs.
“It confirms that trickle down has failed and we need the bottom up economic model so that we can lift many people at the bottom of the pyramid including Caro. Give them decent jobs,” he said.
Ruto’s sentiments attracted criticisms from opponents, who accused him of being perverted.
However, there are leaders who were impressed by William Ruto’s promise to give Mtito Andei sex workers Ksh 1 Million.
One is former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, who termed it a good move to elevate sex workers from poverty and give them decency.
“There is a lot of challenges in this city. I see people criticising commercial sex workers yet they are their customers. I also used to be their big customer before I married my wife Primrose. There is nothing wrong with that. God is everything. “They do that out of hardships. If they had the ability they would not do such business,” Sonko said.
