Deputy President William Ruto has accused the ruling Jubilee Party of using public funds to conduct campaigns and buy political aspirants ahead of the August 9th elections.
Ruto, who spoke at a campaign rally in Mombasa on Saturday, claimed that funds meant for agriculture were being diverted to fund Jubilee party campaigns.
This, Ruto said, has derailed the government’s development agenda and denied Kenyans essential services.
The deputy president alleged that the President Kenyatta-led party has spent at least Sh1 billion in the past week to buy back politicians who had decamped to other parties.
“It is not possible that this week alone, when people are dying of hunger, Sh1 billion has been withdrawn to buy politicians back to Jubilee,” Ruto alleged.
Ruto, who is the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party presidential candidate, accused some leaders in the government of losing touch with reality on the ground and being blind to challenges facing the people.
“They do not know that Kenyans lack food that is why they are taking funds meant for agriculture and using it for campaigns,” he added.
He castigated President Kenyatta for abandoning the Big Four Agenda, which was meant to create jobs for Kenyans. His sentiments were echoed by other Kenya Kwanza alliance leaders who accompanied him to Mombasa.
Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wa said the government was losing huge sums of money meant for development to Jubilee Party political campaigns. “You will buy politicians but they cannot buy the people who are eager for change,” Ichung’wa said.
We are not buying the wheel…
We are not buying the wheel barrow politics so now you have decided to start dirty smear politics. How can intelligent Kenyans elect you. You like a chameleon. We are getting confused. Your extensive tongue is being controlled by your protruding eyes depending on what you see from time to time. Thus you change your opinions and behavior according to the situation. I am sorry we voters have misgivings about performance of a political chameleon. You to Gatundu you try to tell people how you respect mama Ngina and asking us not to insult the president. Two days later you are calling him a drunk. Surely, who needs a leader who is dexterously and expediently changes or adopts opinions that suit him.

Am sure if you look closely you’ll notice they are using the same bottom up economic model that you are running around talking about.
The Universal Healthcare you talk about is already being implemented.
The only thing you have left is the wheelbarrow and you will be taking a ride to Sugoi on the same pretty soon.

Huyu Ruto ni Mwizi. What I he complaining about? Ruto thought Uhuru was a little boy and could not politically destroy him piece by piece. Shenzi Ruto – a power hungry bustard!
Ruto’s crowd has…
Ruto’s crowd has tremendously finished since Uhuru confirmed that Ruto ni Mwizi. Make sure he does not still the light bulbs as he vacates the DP house in Karen. Ruto is the biggest thief in the world.
Kenyatta is not running. You…
Kenyatta is not running. You guys are wasting your time. Sell your agenda and muache kupotosha watu. Tell us saint Ruto, how much have you taken from the very people you’re lying to in the last 5 years, in terms or salary, and running your campaigns on government funds, yet you do nothing other than climb on top of your posh cars and tell people lies? Why are you taking out a salary yet for years you have not even gone to your office? Can you instead of accusing the government without evidence tell us about the Kimwar and Arua dams? Do you have any credibility to talk about corruption? We can see through your lies. You don’t become clean just because you paint the government black. Shame on you!

Why is Ruto whining about others spending to defeat him. He has been spending all that stolen money and paying 300,000,000 shillings to buy the likes of mdvd, etc. you will lose badly Ruto.
No Keter has really put it…
No Keter has really put it clearly to the Kenyan people about Ruto the Mwizi. Ruto will finish kenya with theft if elected the next president. We don’t want a thief near the presidency.
This thief must be talking…
This thief must be talking about himself. He should first explain how 15.3billion was spent on Galana Kulana project. Sh4.5 billion in 2013/2014; Sh3.5 billion in 2014/2015; Sh3.5 billion in 2015/2016; Sh3.2 billion in 2016/2017; and Sh0.6 billion in 2017/2018. All that comes to a total of Sh15.3 billion.
He should also explain the presence of instability in Baringo and why his fellow people are dying of starvation while he and his fellow besties hurl insults at an old woman namely Ngina 88 years old in Ichaweri Kiambu. Why, why why?
@mukikuyu its evident you…
@mukikuyu its evident you have alot of corruption evidence against Ruto, be kind to uhuru and raila and give them the evidence to prosecute Ruto
How many times do you get…
How many times do you get reminded that the office of the DP does not write or issue payments for all projects? It’s role is mainly supervisory.
The DP has just complained about money being stolen by Uhuru/ Raila and instead of joining hands in condemning the act, you are trying to justify it by some unfounded allegations. Please bring forth the evidence to court if you think you really have it.
The insecurity and people dying of hunger in one region is the failure of Uhurus government. He has marginalized the area for partisan idiotic politics.
When did Ruto insulted the old geezer great grandma? How did he insulted her or who insulted who in this case?
@Asista https://youtu.be…
@Asista https://youtu.be/ZrDFLDY4S0Q when WSR the looter was carrying 12 Million in a bag pack to buy mbuzi in Baringo, some in that same area were sleeping hungry yet he was firmly in the government then.Where do you suppose he got all that money from to spend in one day yet as you say he does not issue payments?
If you listen keenly you will hear him making the usual dam construction promise. You know, the same one which he pocketed the money. Kimalel. Please tell your boss YouTube does not forget. When the 5th gets sworn(RAO) in, he shall revisit. Patience for now. Patience.
