I'm Not Being Fought by State House Operatives, Deputy President William Ruto Says

Deputy President William Ruto has refuted reports that some powerful officials close to President Kenyatta are fighting his bid for presidency in 2022.

Ruto said he is in good working terms with all public servants and reports that some State House officials were plotting to stop him from succeeding President Uhuru are untrue.

“The Deputy President has noted the content of the said story, which does not reflect his relationship with the public servants, whose names and pictures have been displayed on the newspaper,” the DP said in a statement dispatched by his spokesman David Mugonyi.

On Monday, the Star reported that Deputy President William Ruto allies had named Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua, State House Comptroller and former Nakuru Governor Kinuthia Mbugua and Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho as among powerful state officials plotting to scuttle the DP’s 2022 presidential bid.

Also in the list was Jubilee Party Vice Chairperson David Murathe and former President Kenyatta advisor Nancy Gitau.

The reports came amid claims of divisions in Jubilee, but party Secretary General Raphael Tuju on Monday downplayed the rumors.

“I hear about different wings in Jubilee Party. As Secretary General, I’ve been looking for these wings and I’ve not seen them. We only have legs in Jubilee… The legs of our foot soldiers working to try and deliver what we promised Kenyans in our manifesto,” said Tuju in a press briefing on Monday.

He continued: “This question of wings is a storm in a tea cup. We have one party, one president and one deputy President.”

“I would like to assure members that there is nothing even remotely close to a crisis in the party.”

    Ruto ask your assistants to stop the drama. Concentrate on the big four cos all you do is mangamanga everywhere. You will never win with such strategy and lastly account for your wealth. If Jubilee wins you win. If it fails you fail. Right now Jubilee is loosing with all the thievery going around. Remember nobody owes you their votes.

    We (Kenyans) have a unique opportunity to transform our nation again into a “P.O.P.E. – Paradise On Planet Earth”

    We have a unique opportunity to cremate the vices that have transformed our nation into a “H.O.P.E. – Hell On Our Planet Earth.”

    SOLUTIONS:

    1. Mheshimiwa William Samoei Chirchir Arap Ruto must be reminded on a daily basis that come 2022, he must politically and permanently exit from the national scene.

    2. Mheshimiwa Gideon Arap Moi, the son of Mheshimiwa Dr. Daniel Toroitich Kipkorios Arap Moi must stop dreaming about being in our State House as the president of the Republic of Kenya politically and permanently come 2022.

    3. The people of Kenya have ample time now to choose a new person devoid of closets full of skeletons to take over after 2022. So far, our previous leaders were devoid of conscience and humanity and have bankrupted our nation financially and have turned the people of Kenya into unbelievable people with very questionable behaviors as a result of seeing that when in power, you are above the law. You can steal, kill, rape, and do many other bad things but yet remain free to continue repeating the same negative behaviors.

    4.All the stolen money from our treasury and banked elsewhere must be returned back to Kenya. We saw recently that the money banked out of Nigeria by the former thief aka president of Nigeria Sani Abacha was returned back to Nigeria.

    The late first president of Tanzania, Mwalimu Borito Kambarage Nyerere once said, “It can be done, play your part.”
