Deputy President William Ruto says Jesus Christ was a product of the bottom-up economic model which he has touted as the panacea for Kenya’s economic woes.
Speaking on Friday in Nakuru County where he drummed up support for his presidential bid, the deputy president pointed out that the bottom-up economic model was inspired by the bible, adding that Jesus Christ was the true testament to the analogy.
“Even Jesus was a product of the bottom-up…Jesus was not someone held in high status so much. He was the son of a carpenter and even some questioned if someone from Nazareth can amount to something. Because he was at the bottom,” said Ruto.
Ruto, who is eyeing the presidency on a UDA party ticket, further likened the glorification of Jesus Christ in the biblical scriptures to the hustlers’ movement which he predicted will win the August 9th elections.
“God removes the oppressed from the dust. At the bottom where there is dust he raise the poor and makes them sit with kings and queens. Do you need any better explanation of the bottom up?” he posed.
This is not the first time Ruto has used the bible to explain his ‘bottom-up’ economic model. Earlier this year, he compared the model to the sermon in Psalms 113:7-8 which states, “He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, he seats them with princes of his people.”
He challenged critics of the bottom-up economic philosophy to read the bible verse, saying it summarizes the philosophy.
“Neno la Mungu linatuambia Mungu humtoa mnyonge mavumbini,” Ruto stated.
Ruto has pledged to employ the economic model to revive the country’s economy and uplift the lives of low-income earners. He says that the bottom-up conversation “will burry tribalism, patronage, cronyism, and corruption.”

I thought you’re Ruto’s supporter. Anyway: Jesus didn’t have a Place to Lay his Head; but Ruto has so Many places to Lay his Head. It’s like Jesus was Homeless so to Speak. So what Ruto is Talking about is Rubbish to Sat the Least.

@Guest 1, Ruto has so many places to lay his head including allegedly in room 350 at Weston Hotel(land which he stole) from where he enjoys full view of Wilson Airport while “entertaining” university girls or creating babies.

How does Racheal stand this cheater? At least Ruto should have a grain of respect to his wife when cheating around like a lose bill.

Polygamy plays a role in keeping more than one wife or concubine in Kenya. It’s a constitutional right as well as culturally accepted. Jomo, Kibaki and even Moi played into it. Uhuru is not exceptional. And neither is Ruto.
@Asista, at this point given…
@Asista, at this point given your many lies and failure to think, I can only ask whether you have visited room 350 at Weston. Come clean.

Ruto is a seven horned demon! I hope ordinary Kenyans can see through his hypocrisy and arrogance. Since when did Ruto become a Jesus?

Imara thanks for giving credit for the long time the deputy president has taken to graduate. You have until today been a paraquat.
@Asista, sorry to inform you…
@Asista, sorry to inform you but your boss PHD is fake. No worries, you will still get his monthly check, that is if he is not broke yet.
@asista – You will be…
@asista – You will be assigned room # 2 at the ICC jail house while Ruto will be in room #1. You are as guilty for crimes against humanity as Ruto himself.
Please Ruto stop misquoting…
Please Ruto stop misquoting the Bible for your political convenience sake. Jesus Christ is not your monopoly and that is the good news.
So who are you Ruto because you are corrupt, full of anger and bitterness, insults others from every corner of your dirty mouth, you have killed many in this world, you lie too much, etc. was Christ not completely oppose to your earthly character?
The bottom up is a dead monolithic concept perpetuated by self serving lies and greed. Jesus came to save every body who called upon the name of the Father in Heaven. He v8 was very humble and loving! Are you?
Here we go again with Ruto…
Here we go again with Ruto telling dirty lies about Christ. Jesus the son of God was apolitical. He would never have belong to Kenya Kwisha a party of gangsters and thieves. He would really never have been anything close to you WSR.
Do not lie over the obvious facts. As a matter of fact Jesus would have wrapped you up along with your greedy preachers and send you to the pit of eternal fire to gnash your silly big teeth in the furnace.
Kelly, neither Jesus would…
Kelly, neither Jesus would have been in the threaded Azimio the least of which would be the ganja man party.
He would rather be in a place where His verse gets read and not in that domiciled pagan/ atheist horizon of Azimio top heads.
@asista – you have really…
@asista – you have really taken Ruto’s deceptive opium of the masses to the hilt. Kenyans are very bright to accept colossal religious lies. Ruto is merely using religion to attract naive voters. It will not work.
Warid, there’s no one called…
Warid, there’s no one called naïve when it comes to the call of voting. All Kenyans are smarter than you think. Perhaps a little more smarter than you.
Ruto is working on what what he knows works. The difference is you are working on things that you know do not work.
Would Jesus have conspired…
Would Jesus have conspired to assassinate John the Baptist, John, Peter or even Judas Escariot?
You had planned to assassinate a sitting President which would have caused great tomoil throughout the land because of your greed for political power.
DP Ruto, you are not Jesus Christ; neither do I think if you know Him too well. Perhaps you are closer to Judas Musaliti wa Yesu more than any body else in the Bible. Please stop blaspheming our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
This guy Ruto is off the…
This guy Ruto is off the hook with some loose nuts in the head. He now claims to be Jesus, just like Racheal claimed to convert black muddy water into pure spring water. Wow Ruto!
John, chapter 11, verse 35 -…
John, chapter 11, verse 35 – “Jesus Wept”. Jesus is weeping because of your lies DP Ruto.
Now Ruto is really going way…
Now Ruto is really going way on the deep end of misrepresenting the word of God.
Jesus was talking about the poverty of “in spirit” and not “in earthly material” possessions. Jesus talked about uplifting those who were lost in the “dunghill” of sin. Those who “lie” when they are caught in sin.
Jesus promised to save the sinners once they acknowledged their sinful nature. When you repent your sins, you stop telling lies, conning others, stealing from the poor, etc – you are freed from the bondage of sin and is welcome to the kingdom of Heaven.
Please Ruto, do read the Psalm 113:7-8 properly. It has nothing to do with the “earthly bottom up treasures” as you would wish to lie to Kenyans. It’s addresses “in spirit” healing and the uplifting from m sin.
Satan was an Angel to God…
Satan was an Angel to God. He knew every trick about God. But when he tried to be like God, he was cast into the earth and became a serpent that later tempted Jesus the son of God. He misled Adam and Eve and caused them to lose the Garden of Eden where life was really good.
WSR is beginning to be like a very deceptive serpent who will soon bite the son of man (Kenyans) on the heel.
Ruto has misquoted Bible verses and severally misinterpreted the spiritual Meaning of many others to fit his human narrative. Gid is not well pleased with Ruto.
May the Heavenly Father cast Ruto to the deepest pits of Hell for misquoting the Holy Book and for lying to Kenyans just like he cursed Satan to Hell.
The Lord lifted those who…
The Lord lifted those who were in sin (dust) and gave them the power to sit in the same “table” of righteousness with God.
There were no wheelbarrows involved in Psalm 113: 7-8. Please Ruto not lie about the inspired word of God. God did not mean your bottom up lie!
It’s exactly what’s bottom…
It’s exactly what’s bottom up. You quoted really good. Get those in the dust on the kings table wheelbarrow or no wheelbarrow. It’s means the same thing!
You are too cheesy for me to…
You are too cheesy for me to reason with you @Insista. As a matter of fact you sound quite desperate for Ruto.
Kenyans are already past Ruto crap. He needs to be assigned a psychiatrist and a psychologist to help him calf down from his burning anger. Kenyans do not want a mad man for president.
Hahaha funny good? Thanks…
Hahaha funny good? Thanks for the complement. Cheesy it is!
Kepler, am not desperate for…
Kepler, am not desperate for Ruto. Am for the right candidate among the two right or the wrong. You sound angry even if you hold 1o or 18 academic degrees for which you all those cannot humble you down to relate and reason with mama mboga then you are as good as one that never entered a classroom. Academic credentials or lessons are taught to enhance viability in respects including living humanly and with your peers. It’s not one that isolates people. I therefore doubt if at all you have any academic qualities beyond your rhetoric.
This man, Ruto, does not…
This man, Ruto, does not know what he’s saying. He thinks he’s talking to fools. Jesus came from heaven (top), he emptied himself (voluntary), he lived amongst us, not as a hustler but a teacher, we killed him, God glorified him. How does this compare to the poor you chased out of the Rift Valley, burned all they had worked head for, killed their relatives and took their land. They are living as IDPs just because of you. Settle them first before you sell the doctrine of Jesus who came to free the oppressed. Rubbish!
The problem with Ruto is his…
The problem with Ruto is his negative attitude of arrogance and being judgmental.
He is now wowing church leaders by lying to them that the other side is the ant Christian. This kind of self serving rhetoric is very dangerous to the unity of the society.
Here we go again with Ruto dividing the people using religion for his own political gains.
This one here has really…
This one here has really lost his mind. Ruto has lost it.
So Ruto is comparing himself…
So Ruto is comparing himself with Jesus,,? Kweli this guy ready to anything on earth to gain power
Ruto is Holier than Thou…
Ruto is Holier than Thou with a monopoly on Jesus. Ruto is the kind of folks that make sinners to reject the offer of spiritual life. You can be the only whose ideas are sent from Heaven above. False prophets are every where and Ruto is worse than many others.
Moi went to church every…
Moi went to church every Sunday but the things he did to Kenyans have haunted country even in his death. People must be very wary of Ruto when he starts to fabricate the word of God.
How can the devil preach…
How can the devil preach about Jesus? Ruto, you know you are lying and you know you just want to hoodwink the gullible and ignorant Christians about your evil plans to exploit their ignorance. Jesus does not represent a bottom up philosophy. On the contrary he came from on high, from the throne of God. He humbled himself to save us at our level. We killed him, but he rose up and he regained his former glory. Where is the bottom up thing here? If you do much love to lift up people, start by giving back the IDPs their confiscated property. You drove them from their farms, you burned their houses, you killed their relatives, you stole their land, you raped them, you burned their houses of worship… what are you telling people? People are not that stupid. Stop abusing the Holy Scriptures and seek forgiveness by first confessing all your many sins. You cannot lie your way into the presidency.
Actually the Devil can…
Actually the Devil can attempt to preacher the goodness of Jesus in order to win the masses and then take them to HELL with him. The Devil attempted Jesus himself.
That is what WSR’s attempting to do because he thinks Kenyans are stupid to be put a leash like dogs.
Well said but is Ruto going…
Well said but is Ruto going to listen? Kirwa says Ruto is stubborn and does not listen to any body’s advice.
Ruto will even but trying to teach Jesus about the Father God. He is a list cause and you can’t bring sense to a guy of Ruto’s caliber. He is know it all and that’s why he chose the wrong running mate, Rikathi.
That’s a huge point. King…
That’s a huge point. King David who was suspected of being born out of wedlock, was despised and sent to the field in the hope that lions would eat him but praise n worship got him intimate with God and elevated him to royalty and eternal royalty as father to Jesus. Bottom up
So you expect Ruto to lie…
So you expect Ruto to lie and co no his way to the presidency using a sickening bottom up idioms. Folks like you make me sick

I have one advise for Ruto.Please join a seminary somewhere after losing the elections,in August.Get out of politics and clean your soul.After graduating from the seminar build a church and serve God full time. I foresee Pastor Ruto being a more honorable name after cleansing yourself.You want to be a true christian right?
Ruto is now you telling us…
Ruto is now you telling us Raila wanted him jailed? Sure as many people you have killed – Yebei, Muteshi, Juma, Kenei and many others still to be named plus everything you have stolen from Kenyans, of course you should be in jail.
The ICC wants to jail you for your crimes against humanity. Your current case at the hague points direclctly to you Ruto. Your phone data is on record that you conspired to scatter the ICC case.
Please do not forget you burnt 37 kikuyu women and their babies inside the Kiambaa church in Eldoret – sure you should be in jail since long time ago.
Ruto is an emotional…
Ruto is an emotional wreckage. He talks to much with his uncivilized big mouth. Ruto will be the worst president kenya has ever had if he is elected president.
He is now all over the nap blaming every body else that they wanted him jailed at The Hague. He is even blaming his own mother for dropping him on the earth.
Ruto’s temperament is way beyond collection and Kenya will be a huge lose if he becomes the next president. He is just a shame no matter how you look at it. This immature guy will definitely destroy kenya.
