Keroche CEO Tabitha Karanja joins DP Ruto's UDA, to vie for Nakuru Senatorial seat

Keroche Breweries founder and CEO Tabitha Karanja has joined Deputy President William Ruto's UDA Party.

Ms Karanja who is vying for the Nakuru Senatorial seat in the upcoming August 9th, 2022 General Election was officially welcomed to the party on Wednesday at Nakuru ASK show ground by DP Ruto.

Addressing a gathering at the event the Keroche Breweries proprietor heaped praises on DP Ruto's proposed bottom-up economic model saying it would be one of the solutions to improving livelihoods in the country citing that she resonates with the model since she is a by product of it.

"I want to be the next Nakuru Senator so that I can ensure that the laws we make at the top do not oppress you here on the ground. I have listened to you and I agree that the only vehicle I should use to get to the Senate to represent you is the UDA party," said Karanja.

"I have also listened to the Deputy President on the bottom-up economic model. I have practised it for the last 25 years. I'm the practical example of bottom-up economic model."

She asked the DP to prioritise the creation of a level playing field and conducive environment for home grown businesses should he clinch the presidential seat.

The Nakuru-based business mogul further appealed to the DP to address the issue of taxation and fully support local industries through the buy-Kenya-build Kenya strategy.
