A source who is aware of the happenings has told corridors that the outfit which has been campaigning against the Deputy President William Ruto wanted money to roll out more activities and recruit more members. The leaders of the group whose activities have been dwindling of late were shocked when the President told that “they had no idea how far they have come with Ruto and how deep their friendship was”.
