Deputy President William Ruto has mocked National Super Alliance (Nasa) leader Raila Odinga over his January 30th “swearing in” as people’s president, terming the oath as a waste of time.
Speaking when he attended a fundraiser at Namwela Boys High School in Sirisia, Bungoma County on Saturday, the DP said the mock swearing-in of Odinga was a political theatric aimed at derailing the government from its path.
“How do you get sworn in as the President and you go back to your wife yet you say you are the President? What kind of theatrics are those?” he posed.
Ruto, however, noted that the government was not interested in showdown with the opposition, because its only focus was uniting Kenyans and rolling out development.
“Our aim is to unite all Kenyans and get rid of divisive politics. We do not want to talk about what this and that tribe are getting. We want to talk about which road should be built and which areas should be elected to electricity,” he said.
Speakers at the event echoed the Deputy President’s call for all leaders to focus on unity and delivering services to Kenyans.
“It is time to work. Before I became Water Cabinet Secretary and now Devolution, I was minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs and I can tell you there will be no other General Election until August 2022,” Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa said.
Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka said President Kenyatta’s government will serve all Kenyans equally without discrimination.
“These are good people. They did not leave me out after I failed. They gave me another powerful office. These offices are not just for us to sit in but we should use them to help our people,” the Speaker said.
DP seem to focusing so much…
DP seem to focusing so much on western Kenya and forgetting other regions. I thought he had said politics are over and now in only development to be spoken about. DP to stop political sertire and units all Kenyan even Rao’s sapporters.

@Guest1, ati I am intolerant…
@Guest1, ati I am intolerant to the truth? That’s a first for me, but coming from you, I need to understand that you are not the regular guy/woman able to bash out a debate. No, you are unique and so blinded by your loyalty to Raila that you would not bat an eyelid if the TRUTH slapped you across the face!! Now, so I am clear to you, come closer and pay close attention: Am I a supporter of Jubilee? Answer: Yes!!! Unapologetically so! Reason: Because the alternative (NASA) is a national joke that ever existed! Period. Does that mean I worship jubilee and all their behaviors? Answer: Absolutely NOT! I support them, lakini like a parent to a child, support does not mean I uphold everything they do even when they are blatantly wrong. Why? Supporting a wrong does not make it right and it actually amplifies the problem as the person in question takes the support to mean they are right. Period. If you have been reading my posts, you will note I have checked Uhuru, Kuria na kathalika when they have been out of line and when it’s called for in my humble opinion. It’s called having a critical mind Guest1. Come out of your burrow and try to be objective for all things in life. It’s healthy for your equilibrium. Now, go get a life… I promise there is one beyond Baba and his empty threats, just give it a go. Your Canaan might be a very different one than the one carved out by by God Raila. You have a very unhealthy attachment to all things Raila.

Pardon my previous post…
Pardon my previous post. Should have read: Ruto, this jitu does not deserve the privilege of his name passing your lips. So like your boss, I would suggest you show him kisogo and let him continue his drama for his die hard supporters. You on the other hand need to start serving the wanainchi and keep every promise you made. For that brother, is what we shall judge you by.
