Deputy President William Ruto says that Jubilee is ready to enter into discussion with National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga regarding his retirement package.
Speaking during an interview with CNN’s Becky Anderson on Sunday, Ruto said the government is not opposed to any talks with the opposition leader as long as its not about election.
“We are even ready to discuss with him a retirement package,” Ruto said.
Ruto further said that the scheme by the opposition to stop October 26th election was defeated after over 7 million Kenyans turned out to vote in the poll boycotted by Nasa.
“It was the intention of the opposition that no Kenyan would vote but to their dismay, 7.6 million Kenyans woke up to vote,” says Ruto.
Ruto further ruled out possibilities of having a fresh presidential election before 9th August 2022, saying that Nasa was not forced by anyone to boycott the election.
“The Opposition boycotted the elections out of its own volition and cannot purport to demand more elections outside the Constitution,” said Ruto.
“Odinga chose on his own will not to participate in the election. Kenyans had nothing to do with that decision. He should stop threatening peace in the country,” Ruto said.
He further warned the former Prime Minister against threatening Kenyans with violence, adding that Kenyans are not fools to go the 2007/08 post-election violence path.
“I want to tell Raila that violence is not an option in Kenya. Only a fool does not learn from mistakes,” he added in the exclusive CNN interview.
“Since there was only one region where violence was experienced, NASA (is) attempting to export the same mayhem to other regions.”
However, speaking during a rally in Kawangware, Nairobi on Sunday, Raila hit out at those calling for his retirement, saying he will retire when he desires.
“I will quit politics not because Uhuru and Ruto have told me to do so but because I will have achieved in uniting Kenyans and delivering Kenyans to the Promised Land. You should not focus on a person’s age but his/her mind and transformative agenda and ideas. There are young people with unsound mind to lead the people,” Raila said.

RAO does not deserve any retiremt package. He is a mean spirited tyrant who has intentionally mislead millions due to greed and selfishness. God will punish him by redirecting to the gates of hell when time comes. Blood of Kenyans is on his hands.

Ruto I assure you: Just like…
Ruto I assure you: Just like Raila was Used by Kibaki (Kibaki Tosha): You’re Going to be Used by Uhuru (Except for what you Have Looted). You’re “Believed by Kikuyus” to Have Masterminded the Killings of Kikuyus in 2007-2008; and if you think they Forgiven and Forgotten KIAMBAA Church Incident in ELDORET, YOU BETTER THINK A GAIN.
I don’t think we have heard…
I don’t think we have heard the last of this snake. As I said before, Raila ni nyoka wa vichwa saba. One gets chopped off the others come out swinging for survival. To top it all, he is surrounded by die hard fans who are blinded by their misplaced loyalty to him. I mean look at Miguna Miguna, once condemning of Raila, even wrote a book outing him and now he is out defending him with passion. Ibilisi mkubwa. I bet he will have the nation in knots until he drops dead, literally.
Retirement package from who?…
Retirement package from who? Taxpayers money? No way. He has no position in government and was not in any payroll to base his package on. I will challenge in court. This guy has multimillion shillings homes, big industries, donors. …and the common mwananchi is barely making it hand to mouth!!
If I were Ruto, I won’t be…
If I were Ruto, I won’t be smiling that much. The log by the fire place does not laugh at the one that is burning. All these rules that were changed to suit the elections of today, will hound us in the elections of tomorrow. If todays change the constitution is a thing to go by, tomorrows leaders will do the same to suit their elections need to win.Be careful what you wish for.
Ruto smiling so hard now…
Ruto smiling so hard now that you think you are closer to the presidency.Just dreams.You will not get there remember Gideon Moi he is the son of your mentor and sponsor.Believe me you are just warming that seat.Hiyo kiti kama Kenya iko na wenyewe.Enjoy your dreams while they last soon you too will face reality
