Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has asked Ruiru residents to agree to rename the stadium 'William Samoei Ruto Stadium' on condition that he (Deputy President William Ruto) participates in equipping it once completed. “We are constructing a stadium(photo below) here in Ruiru and we would like to name it after you. We will invite you to come and commission it on completion as it will bear the name William Samoei Ruto Stadium,” he said.

 Governor Kabogo added that Jubilee has been promoting friendship and brotherhood between communities, religions and regions across the country. “President Uhuru Kenyatta and the DP have worked tirelessly to promote peace and national cohesion and they deserve accolades. We are sure Jubilee will win next year,” the governor said. . He was speaking at the AIPCA Ruiru town church where the DP had gone to launch the Ruiru Deanery Medium Sacco on Sunday 26th June 2016.
He added that the Mount Kenya region will back Ruto as President in 2022.

Area MCA Joe Mutuga said that he shall wait to see what the governor's formal proposal shall entail before issuing a statement.

On Sunday, he announced that Ruiru Stadium is to be renamed ‘William Samoei Ruto Stadium’. “We are constructing a stadium here in Ruiru and we would like to name it after you. We will invite you to come and commission it on completion as it will bear the name William Samoei Ruto Stadium,” he said.
He added that this is to recognize the DP’s efforts in enhancing cohesion between communities in Kenya.
Some MCAs are however not buying Ruto’s explanation. Ngewa MCA Karungo Thang’wa says the offer to rename the stadium is not genuine. “It is a good idea to name the stadium after Ruto and I support it. But the offer by the governor is not genuine. Why is he saying it now? He wants to seal the mistakes he recently made that sparked outrage all over the country,” he told The Star.

DP Ruto is My Friend, Says Governor William Kabogo

Kiambu Governor William Kabogo earlier today said that DP William Ruto is his friend and he is obliged to tell him the truth and advise him as a friend. 
He reiterated by telling the Deputy President William Ruto that it would be a hard thing to convince the Mt Kenya region in his 2022 presidential bid if the current leadership with H.E President Uhuru will not consider and act fast for the region on matters development.

He added that its important to let the Central region feel recognized development wise, having helped elect to power the current government in which the DP is part of. Citing the recent remarks by Meru Governor Peter Munya and Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki that they will vie for Presidency-and that if they decide to go by their declarations-might be due to disgruntlement which could be the chorus by the larger Central region if they don't see any fruits with the current leadership led by one of their own. He noted that this may end up splitting the Mt.Kenya voting block. 

He pointed that the only way to convince the region is through development projects,while the youths need to feel recognized through employment opportunities. This would help in consolidating the votes of the Mt. Kenya region, he added.

Governor Kabogo said that he is the number one supporter of H.E Deputy President Ruto and that as his friend, he was entitled in telling him the truth.
