Deputy President William Ruto, who was expected to grace a fundraiser aimed at aiding farmers in Kisumu East, did not make it for unclear reasons even after heavy preparations to receive him.
The DP however sent Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Will Bet to represent him.
This move however did not go down well with Nominated Senator Joy Gwendo who did not hesitate to express her displeasure.
"I want you to turn your cameras to show the multitude of people who came to receive the DP. They are disappointed," she said.
"Let him not fear to come and see us, the people of Kisumu East," she added.
The Senator insisted that all she wanted was development for the people of Kisumu and that they wanted to whisper something to the DP himself.
"All I want for the people of Kisumu is change and development," the senator said.
"I will tell you without fear or favor that we are disappointed. We welcome you but and we are aware you are the one in charge but we had things to whisper to our DP, " she told the Cabinet Secretary.
Mr Bet however defended the DP saying he would not come because something urgent came up.
"He fears nothing. He should have come but something urgent came up, "he said.
