Opposition leader Raila Odinga now claims that Deputy President William Ruto cannot succeed President Kenyatta in 2022 without his help.
Speaking in Kipkelion, Kericho county on Thursday, the National Super Alliance (Nasa) leader said that Ruto will need his influence if he is to occupy State House in 2022.
“Does Ruto think he can be a President without Raila?”Odinga posed at Kedowa, Kipkelion East. “I can help him get there if he wants,” he added.
Odinga, who attended the burial ceremony of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) chairman for Kipkelion East William Koech, said Ruto’s quest for the country’s top political seat can only be a reality if the Kalenjin community worked with him [Raila] like they did in 2007.
However, in a rejoinder to Odinga’s remarks, Deputy President Ruto’s spokesperson David Mugonyi said his boss’ focus is on delivering Jubilee’s agenda.
“We thought Raila had an agreement with Kalonzo Musyoka in 2022,” Mugonyi said in a statement.
He continued: “For us, our concern right now is to deliver to Kenyans and not 2022 politics.”
Whoever coined the phrase…
Whoever coined the phrase political prostitute must have had this man in mind. Just last week in Machakos, he assured Kalonzo of his total support in 2022. This week in Lift Valley, he promised to help Ruto become president in 2022. Next week in Kakamega he will say Mudavadi tosha 2022. This is political prostitution of the highest order. Umalaya ya kisiasa.
@Njai, he is clutching at…
@Njai, he is clutching at straws. Kalonzo should be very careful. I said it before and I repeat: Raila ni kama nyoka. Ruto does not need him. Period.
If this political prostitute…
If this political prostitute can’t help himself become president, how delusional and self-importance for him to think that he can help anyone else become president. He should go sing it to the birds!!
Oh! He wants to take Ruto to…
Oh! He wants to take Ruto to Canaan. Ruto is not a fool.
Ile bangi huyu mzee huvuta…
Ile bangi huyu mzee huvuta kweli Ni ya Bondo…??
Some people are hopeless…
Some people are hopeless. You don’t boast how great or how important you are. You leave it to other people to point out your greatness. This man is a total psycho. You are not that important, unless you are in Luoland. Come down from your high horse.
