UDA presidential candidate William Ruto on Thursday took his campaigns to Meru, Embu and Tharaka Nithi counties.

Speaking in Meru, Ruto said Kenya Kwanza will ensure equal opportunity to all by investing in those at the lower levels of the economic pyramid. 

"We want everyone to feel the wealth of this country. Not just a few at the top," he said.

He was accompanied by his running mate Rigathi Gachagua.

Other leaders who were present at the rally included Muthomi Njuki, Tharaka Nithi senator Kindiki Kithure, Speaker Justin Muturi, Beatrice Kathomi, Gitonga Murugara, Kareke Mbiuki, Patrick Munene, Mwenda Gataya among others.

Ruto had on Wednesday taken his campaigns to Murang'a county.

He has intensified his campaigns with just two weeks short to the August 9 General election.

The DP is on his maiden attempt to occupy State House, failure to which he will be secluded in the opposition at least for the next five years.
