Deputy President, William Ruto, escaped an accident after a helicopter carrying him was forced to make an emergency landing in Eldama Ravine Town on Friday afternoon.

According to Eldama Ravine OCPD, Bernard Kibe, the Russian made helicopter was forced to land due to bad weather adding that the region is experiencing heavy rainfall.

The pilot of the bird was taking Ruto to Sinonin Secondary School where he was supposed to preside over a Harambee in aid of the school’s new laboratory.

"The pilot made an emergency landing but everything is in order, Ruto has already made his way to the venue," the OCPD.

Others in the helicopter were Baringo Governor Benjamin Cheboi, Kinango MP, Gonzi Rai, Baringo Central MP, Sammy Mwaita, Hellen Sambili (Mogotio), William Cheptumo (Baringo North), Baringo County Women Representative, Grace Kiptui, and Mosses Lessonet of Eldama Ravine.
