An MP from the South Rift who is a close ally of Eldoret North MP William Ruto is said to have acquired a chopper in readiness for the anticipated “tough” campaigns ahead of the March 4 2013 general elections. The MP, who is said to be eying the senate seat explained to his friends that he needs to lay on an elaborate campaign itinerary as he has to cover a wider area other than just one constituency if he is to be successful in his gubernatorial campaigns. He has already gone into full drive by 'planting' huge billboards in strategic locations of his constituency highlighting the projects funded by CDF.

It is just a matter of time before this truth becomes evident to one and all," he said.
