• They have been told to book an appointment for State House visit

Two Sugoi women are stranded in Nairobi, struggling to meet President William Ruto since September 13.

The tw0 - Eunice Tabut and Everlyn Chepkemei say they walked from Sugoi, Uasin Gishu County to Nairobi to witness Ruto’s swearing-in on September 13, 2022. Unfortunately, they are now ‘stranded’ in the city.

Eunice and Everlyn lamented that they have not managed to earn an appointment with President Ruto to hand him his Mkokoteni gift.

They are homesick but can't leave until they meet Mr. Ruto.

They were told to book an appointment if they want to meet the Head of State and hand over the mkokoteni they bought for him as an inauguration gift.

Speaking to The Standard Thursday night, one of the women Mama Lewis defended herself saying;

"Kwa majina naitwa Everlyne Kipkemei, nina toka Sugoi, nimetoka sherehe ya Ruto kuapishwa baada ya hapo nikakuja kuena State House na mkokoteni yangu nikaambiwa wapi appointment nikaambiana appointment yangi ni ni mkokoteni "

Her comment did not earn her entry to the State House. Instead, she was referred to Mr. Ruto's other residence.

"Nikaambiwa enda sasa huko Karen alafu utasortiwa huko Nikaenda na mkokoteni yangu Karen nikaacha huko nikingoja appointment,"

Everlyn is disappointed that days later she still has not seen the Head of State without an appointment

"Sijapatana na Ruto an lengo langu ni ambayo ilinileta nikupea hii zzawadi. Hioi mkokoteni yangu na anisalimie hivi tuongee na yeye na tu tuombe pamoja kwasababu ya ushindi ya Kenya kwanza. Hipo ni zawadfi kubwa ambayo nilimletea lakini sijapea yeye sijapewa nafasi kuingi "

The second woman also about the situation and why the need to meet the President.

"tumeandaman na dad ayngu hapa Everlyne Kepkemei kukuja kushuhudia ushindi wa Kenya kwanza Kasarani August 13. Tulisafir mda wa siku tano na kwa hivi sasa tulipotoka Kasarani tulikuwa tumecjhoka an tulikuwa tumeumia miguu "

A good Samaritan came to their rescue "ametuhost kwa hiyo mda yote kwa majuma matatu na hivi sasa tulikuwa tunatarajia kuonana na President Ruto the 5th elect President , President wetu the fifth."
