Women hired to attend RUTO’s Nyota Beneficiary event in Kilifi stranded overnight after buses ran out of fuel (VIDEO)

Friday, February 6, 2026 - A group of women who were reportedly mobilized to attend the Nyota Beneficiary event in Kilifi, presided over by President William Ruto, were left stranded and forced to spend the night in the cold after school buses hired to transport them ran out of fuel.

According to reports, the women had been ferried to the event by local leaders and promised payment for attending.

However, after the function ended, the buses meant to take them back reportedly stalled for lack of fuel.

They were later informed that no money was available to refuel the vehicles.

Video shared online shows the women seated on the roadside with their children, appearing distressed and uncertain about how they will get home.

In the video, a young man recording the scene accuses local leaders of squandering mobilization funds meant for transport.
