Speaking in Kilifi on Monday during his tour, Ruto regretted that people in Kilifi still die of hunger even after half a centruty after the country gain her indepence.

Ruto promised that his government will ensure farmers are given financial support to enable them to produce more and meet their needs.

"It is a pity that more than half a century after independence, people in some parts of our country such as Kilifi still die of hunger. From next year, the UDA administration will offer financial support to farmers to improve production," he tweet.

His sentiments did not go down well with governor Amason Kingi who accussed Ruto of being insincere.

Kingi who recently unveiled his own political party Pamoja African Alliance (PAA) took to twitter to responded to Ruto with a savage message.

"It's a pity that when you served as Agriculture Minister, You did absolutely nothing to help the poor Coast Farmers. You neglected and marginalised coast farmers when you had the power and resources to change their lives. Instead, you prioritized Rift Valley. Shame on you," Kingi responded.

Just few days ago, Kingi revealed that hi PAA party had initiated talks with Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party to become an equal partner noting that they had settled on Raila Odinga as its preferred presidential candidate in the 2022 general election.

“We should ask ourselves how we will benefit from a Raila's government because we shall give him our votes, but we have to know our stake as a region before elections,” he said.
