Mother of Triplets Escorted by Police After Ruto Gifts Her Sh100,000

Deputy President William Ruto has come to the aid of a Machakos woman who gave birth to triplets two months ago.

Catherine Mutua was left in a bad financial situation after paying the huge medical bill she incurred at the hospital where she delivered the babies.

Reports say she has been struggling to clear her rent arrears and provide for her babies and family.

During his visit to Matuu, Machakos County on Thursday to drum up support for his 2022 presidential bid, Ruto gifted Catherine Sh100,000 to help her meet her needs.

Ruto was addressing a rally in the town when he heard the new mother, who was part of the crowd, crying out for help and he was touched by her plight and gave her money. 

Police officers had to escort her to a nearby lending agent to open an account and deposit the money after some people in the crowd tried to take the money from her by force.
