Deputy President William Ruto has claimed that his main competitor in the August 9th presidential election Raila Odinga is being funded by Covid-19 billionaires.
Ruto, who is making his first attempt at the presidency, said Odinga and the Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition party have no moral authority to lecture others on how to fight corruption yet they are beneficiaries of looted public funds and hostages of State capture.
The Covid-19 billionaires scandal emerged at the height of the pandemic where some influential individuals are said to have pocketed over Sh7.8 billion through irregular procurement at Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa).
“What moral authority do you have to give us lectures on corruption when the whole of your campaign is funded by corruption?” Ruto posed during a campaign rally in Ruiru, Kiambu County.
“You are lecturing me about corruption, yet your campaign is funded by money obtained from the laundry, cleaning people who have stolen money from the counties and all over the place. You people are hostages of state capture, the worst form of corruption.”
While dismissing claims by his opponents that he is not committed to fighting the vice if elected president, Ruto said his administration will give State institutions tasked with fighting graft independence to do their work through funding and new laws.
At the same time, Ruto hit out at Odinga for attacking and discrediting the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) ahead of the forthcoming elections, saying that the Azimio presidential flagbearer should concentrate on presidential campaigns.

I is dont think ruto had proper upbringing where a father figure was available in the home.
His insecurities make him angry about everything. Kenya cannot have a man of Ruto’s low caliber as the president.

Imara, Uhuru as well as Ruto…
Imara, Uhuru as well as Ruto were elected by the people in their positions.
Ruto gets his security and all sundry that goes with his office.
The government is NOT Uhuru Kenyatta. The mandate reigns with the will of the people through their vote.
If there’s anyone that we know today and who’s been earning from the tax payers kitty in the amounts of ksh 250 million yearly without doing his job is Raila Odinga. He is supposed to be the chief opposition party leader, the watchdog of the people in government but folded his party to join in with the ruling party. If we assume that he was the only opposition party, today Kenya would be a single party state! Aren’t we told he fought for multi party? Then why enjoin your party ideology into the ruling party if indeed you want to hold true to your own distinct party identity ?
All we know now is sheer conmanship and self aggrandizement. The means to ascend to power in any other way.
Uhuru in the other way is busy crabbing state resources to add to what he already stolen. He’s therefore looking for someone who can protect his loot. That cannot be anyone other than Raila. So far he cannot come out because in the last four years , he put himself into the hole of corruption quagmire. And now he is promising Uhuru to be his corruption custodian.

@ Asista:
Nakuomba tafadhali mwulize rafiki yako Ndugu Samoei akuambie yote yaliyojiri katika kanisa la Kiambaa huko Eldoret mahali ambapo watoto , wazee, na akina mama 37 waliteketezwa kama “nyama choma” wakati walidhani ya kwamba mungu bandia wa Kiyahudi atawalinda na kuwakinga kutokana na matokeo ya uchaguzi wa 2007 ambao uliwachukiza wengi.
Nimekwambia umwuulize Samoei kwa sababu sasa imepita zaidi ya miaka 14 na miezi saba tangu janga hili litendeke! Ajabu ni kuwa, mpaka sasa, hakuna hata mtu mmoja ambaye ameshikwa na kupelekwa mahakamani na kupata kifungo chochote.

Those who change and twist…
Those who change and twist the truth to fit their narrative are evil-“mine”. Innocent kikuyus, men women and children were burnt alive in a church – house of God by Raila! Ruto was not running for the presidency. It was Raila and his running mate Mdvd. So the buck stops with Raila. And we should remember that these gangster politicians never commit these heinous act in person. No. You will never have such evidence. They use village crooks who have no respect for life or private property. If you think all these evils were perpetrated by Ruto alone without Raila, then you can keep dreaming my friend. Raila is the mother of all violence in Kenya- ref: The Herald,April 27th 2011 “Raila the merchant of violence”.

Mwororo, I truly agree with you. I have always put forth the same fact but as you know the a society always has its few loners.
ICC charges people of the higher responsibilities in whatever atrocities as stipulated under the Geneva constitution. It never was in Kenya in 2007 election violence.

Wacha ushetani wewe kubafu kabisa. Do you have a proof who is paying for Raila’s campaigns? Ruto is the worst compulsive liar in the world. I am beginning to think all kalenjins are liars. You lie with big dirty teeth gulping like the Devil himself. Can even tell the truth @asista to save your own life? Bull crap! Prepare for a ruto defeat..

So far this election is very good for Kenya. Alot has been exposed. The mwananchi is the beneficiary of all this revelation from both sides.
It is an eye-opening event to the common Mwananchi.
After elections, the country will never be the same. Every Mwananchi will have earned a bachelor’s degree in politics. Thanks to the previous evils of corruption.
It has been a time of revelation and soon it will be a time of restoration of all that was stolen in the past.
May the best man win!!

Ruto has a point. COVID funds were stolen by UHURUS kins and GOONS, who are bank rolling RAILAS campaign.
But what RUTO missed to say is he is bank rolling his campaign with stolen funds too.
