No Beef Between Me and President Kenyatta, DP William Ruto Says

Deputy President William Ruto has denied claims that his relationship with President Kenyatta has grown frosty.

Responding to reports appearing on a section of local press, the Deputy President termed the claims as propaganda being spread by “prophets of doom.”

“I saw today they have filled newspapers with lies. I want to help them by asking them to believe in God and not in themselves. Eti wanasema sijui kutangatanga, mara Kijana (They are saying I’m loitering and referring to me as a young man).

” I personally have not complained, who are you to purport to complain on my behalf,” posed Ruto, who spoke during an inter-denominational prayer service at Sogoo High School grounds in Narok County.

Ruto further said that President Uhuru has approved his countrywide tours and those claiming otherwise were only interested in spliting Jubilee party.

“When we chose to dissolve URP and TNA, we did it deliberately to unite all Kenyan communities and to bring transformative development. Sisi hatujatupa network (We have not lost direction). We know where we are going,” the DP assured.

Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja, who accompanied Ruto to Narok, said the marriage between Uhuru and Ruto was intact and not about to break anytime soon.

“I was a young man serving as TNA Chairman when the union between the two leaders was formed. My URP counterpart Francis ole Kaparo and I exchanged caps as a sign of unity. The sole objective of dissolving the two parties was to unite all Kenyans, and nothing has changed,” said Sakaja.
