Jubilee vice-chairman David Murathe has clapped back at Deputy President William Ruto after claiming he was responsible for the ongoing wrangles within the ruling party.
Murathe in response accused DP Ruto of being blinded by his greedy desire to succeed President Kenyatta in 2022, saying he is to blame for his woes.
“Mambo bado, ni kionjo tu. You wait, atajua hajui…We will prove to him that he’s not as smart as he thinks,” Murathe told Citizen TV in an interview.
Murathe further pointed out that the fallout between President Kenyatta and DP Ruto started even before the 2017 elections.
He also claimed that DP Ruto attempted to manipulate the 2017 Jubilee primaries by handing party tickets to candidates backing his 2022 presidential bid while locking out those he considered a threat to his State House ambitions.
“We gather that he wants to bolt out. He is free to do so and form another party. This one has its owners. I heard him call us junior fellows in the party, how do junior people run one out of town surely?” Murathe posed.
During an interview with the same station on Thursday, DP Ruto mentioned Murathe as one of the busybodies, conmen, and brokers who had hijacked the Jubilee party.
“Jubilee is not functioning as a party. We folded about 12 political parties to form Jubilee. Unfortunately, the party has been hijacked by busybodies, conmen, and brokers like David Murathe who have no clue about our philosophy. Their word has become the party position,” he said.
Ruto also gave indications that he was preparing to ditch Jubilee and form his party ahead of the 2022 election.
“When the President disagreed with Kanu, he formed TNA and when I was done with ODM, I formed URP. In politics, there are always options and I will employ them at the right time,” he noted.
Murathe – Ruto promised to…
Murathe – Ruto promised to quit the jubilee party and then spill the beans once he forms a new party! He then said junior party officers are trying to run him out of Jubilee. One of th ohs junior officers Ruto mentioned was Murathe!
What do you say in response to Ruto’s reckless talk, Mr. Murathe?
Why is Ruto complaining…
Why is Ruto complaining while the whole world knew that Ruto was undermining Uhuru and had planned on getting Uhuru impeached?
He should be happy he is still alive after nearly planning a Corp against Uhuru’s government! It is called treason my fren @DP Ruto!!
Ruto is laying in the bed he created himself!
Ruto is not a saint. But …
Ruto is not a saint. But @Muriithi, what do you call Raila’s swearing in as the president, was that not treason too?
@mwororo – I call it…
@mwororo – I call it democracy at its best! You can compare Ruto’s corruption and theft of people’s resources, murders to hide crimes of passion with exercising democracy! You said it correctly; Ruto ain’t a saint in every aspect of humanity because he will even get worse should be elected president! He should never be allowed the opportunity to destroy Kenya!
Which whole world are you…
Which whole world are you talking about?
Can Ruto stop taking our…
Can Ruto stop taking our money in form salaries and benefits while he is no longer working for the Kenyan people?
He should leave the government and go back to Sugoi to raise chicken!
Too late, you should have…
Too late, you should have asked him to leave the government in 2017. Let us not full our self, this whole thing is about Kenyattas in the next government, and we should not change the constitution to accommodate them.
Any one who beats Ruto in…
Any one who beats Ruto in con game of politics becomes a busy body, conman, and what have you! When can we expect to see Ruto fired through whatever means Mr. Murathe? We want Ruto our of the government!
Jubilee team – show DP Ruto…
Jubilee team – show DP Ruto the door but he embarrasses you! He is up to no good! He feels he is invincible from every quarter! This DP is very dangerous to the smooth running of any institution, let alone the government he is a part of it functions. Guys wake up and save Kenyans the Ruto grief!!
Very shot and sweet – get…
Very shot and sweet – get rid of Ruto from the government. He is a very dangerous man! He will overthrow the government under the pretense of survival!
Jubilee can only finish Ruto…
Jubilee can only finish Ruto politically when he is not in the government! Ruto is using his stolen wealth to buy his way inside the current government! It is all the reasons you see Ruto daring to talk to Uhuru through Murathe and other! Ruto is insulting Uhuru directly! He know it but he thinks we are all fools!
Ignore the fact that a DP cannot be fired without desiring to desolve the entire government and get Ruto out of the government!
Ignore the judiciary because all the judges are crooks, Maraga included, and the judiciary is working for Ruto! The judiciary is more corrupt than Ruto himself; very painful to point out but very true!!
Only then Ruto can be neck-choked to deny him the political air he has left; and hopefully finish him politically. This is the only option left to redeem our country Kenya!
We cannot have Ruto thumb cheating while Kenyans are attending to serious business! It is very bad indeed!
@ Murathe – Kenyans are…
@ Murathe – Kenyans are tired of Ruto’s one man show! Of constantly whining about everything!
He seems to care less about the plight of ordinary Kenyans in thee tough times! What are you guys waiting on to stabilize Kenya by firing (impeaching) Ruto!!
This DP has crossed the line in the sand! We all know he has accumulated weaponry worth more that the $40 Echasi was about to squire for Ruto!
Ordinary Kenyans must be armed to fight Ruto to save our country! Ruto is working with the South Sudan Vice President to distabluze Kenya. When are you guy if going to finish Ruto before he finishes us?
Who is Murathe? Even the…
Who is Murathe? Even the people that had elected him found later they had made a mistake. They rejected him and today he has been found stealing with his former schoolmate from Kemsa.
Why do do you think he can save Kenya by choosing a leader for them. Are Kenyans so poor, they cannot find one?
Can someone tell us what…
Can someone tell us what Ruto did and is murathe the president of is or who appointed him the spokesman of Kenyans because he is not. Uhuru need to tell Kenyans what transpired been the two and someone tell this fool murathe to remain silent. What are they intending to do with Ruto, does anyone know so they can update us here.Poor Ruto…What did you do…tell us please…you know if this two were women by now we would have known what went down because we would have already exposed it …women no secrets…men,men,speak up like the way women do so we all know….
@gaki – Shut your dirty…
@gaki – Shut your dirty mouth if you do not know what Ruto did and continues to do to destroy Kenya! How old are you ms thing? How old are you? Even a 2 year old toddler knows what Ruto did! Your ignorance is far beyond correction! Don’t ask some idiotic questions that you can answer for your self!! It is non of your concern @liz what they are to do with your boyfriend – maybe the same thing he did to Juma, Yebei, Kenei, burned mother’s and children in a church, Muteshi, etc!! You sound like you are the one who lit the ? fire in the Kiambaa church to kill all those helpless children! Don’t ask us what ruto did, my damn foot!! Even all the Chinese know what Ruto did and we don’t even speak your Kiri-kiri-kiri language!!
@yun, you don’t have to…
@yun, you don’t have to throw insults at people in order to make your point. Telling people to shut their mouth rather than make their contribution to the discourse only goes to show the intolerance and dictatorial character you inhibit which is exactly the enemy of democracy. Yes, I believe Ruto was 100% involved in the macabre and heinous burning to death of Gikuyu children, women and men at Kiambaa house of God. But so was Raila. It was Raila and not Ruto who was running for the presidency and therefore all the violence that was visited against the Gikuyu people, Raila and Raila’s program was 100% at the epi center. Why is it that you do not blame Raila for burning Gikuyu people to death as well? Why can’t you blame Raila for swearing himself as president even after supreme court had sworn Uhuru into office as the legitimate president of Kenya. Raila shamed our country to the whole world with his treasonous act. Your incoherent barrage of insults and immature juvenile language use only goes to show that you have a separate agenda and not an honest dialogue. What is your agenda? If you claim Ruto is a thief and corrupt, I grant you that! But so are all our leaders and politicians. Show me one clean politician/ leader in Kenya who has not eaten. We need God’s guidance to get a good leader for our country. Such a leader is not Ruto, its not Raila, Kalonzo, Mudavadi or Gideon Moi because all have stolen from the poor wananchi with no shame. Only God shall provide. Let us have creative dialogue @yun and remember there are adults in the room- let us talk bro.
@mwororo – how adult are you…
@mwororo – how adult are you while you really failing to understand the pain of killing babies by burning them?. You are just selling a murderer and a thief to be a president. The only way to communicate to you is just by cursing your short sighted ignorance and a bountiful of personal foolishness. Sorry dude, your level of understanding democracy is at a toddler level! Stop selling a thief and murderer to the common citizens!
@yun, I beg you to take a…
@yun, I beg you to take a minute and read the message before rushing to drive your failed propaganda forth. You should have noted my unequivocal stand as regards Ruto’s presidency. I loathe such a proposition from the depth of my heart. A Ruto presidency or even a Raila presidency in Kenya would be the most tragic affair for the ordinary Kenyan. We’ve lost lives and property and dignity in the violence, protests and marches propagated in a greedy pursuit of power in this beloved nation by the characters in question. @ Yun, I don’t know where you come from or even what you want with our nation but be advised that we are alert as ever and any foreign agents curling and hiding under the guise of a written commentary will be an effort in futility because at the end of the day only the Kenyans will decide! As for the Gikuyus violently burnt alive at Kiambaa church, that is not a laughing matter whatsoever. The pain and anguish of that cowardly act by Ruto and Raila and Co.is close and personal to a lot of us. So, please refrain from making light of that most tragic shameful chapter of our people- that one is off limit with due respect.
Ya, and Ruto is now enticing…
Ya, and Ruto is now enticing you (women voters) with the DP position because he wants a woman he can control with fear and harassment! He is closely following Moi’s foot steps thinking Kenyans are very stupid.
Ruto wants to have a woman DP so he can continue to steal from Kenyans without much resistance! You can apply to be his DP so y’all can take Kenya to hell and hopefully back to earth in one piece.
He surely wants a DP of your caliber – very poorly informed in all the aspects of life!!
Well spoken @Liz gaki,…
Well spoken @Liz gaki, Murathe, Uhuru and Co. you owe Kenyans a detailed and thorough disclosure of exactly what Ruto did that was so horrible as to bring the entire government functions to a stand still. And please don’t repeat the tired nonsense of “oh he is a thief, he is corrupt, that he takes money in bags to churches”. Kenyans are not children and can see through your hypocrisy! Because almost all Kenya leaders, Mps, lawyers, prosecutors and government civil servants are thieves and full of corruption: Evans Kidero, Philomena Mwiti, Ojamoong, governor Obado, Waiguru. Waititu, Raila (kazi kwa vijana), Kabogo, Sonko, Lillian Omollo etc. Since the government has done nothing to apprehend and convict all these corrupt criminals -Kenyans are smart enough to know that there is something that Ruto is being persecuted for other than the usual Kenya’s pandemic corruption. And of course we know the deal- the BBI crap of creating government power positions for: Raila Odinga, Gideon Moi, Kalonzo, Mudavadi and of course Uhuru as PM- simply said; lining up the useless – corrupt dynasty eaters at the feeding trough. I submit to you that Ruto is as dirty and as corrupt as the rest of them. They see him as a stumbling block to their wicked Raila plans. They are just using him in order to hoodwink Kenyans as they manipulatively seize power in the nation.
@mwororo – Kenyans are very…
@mwororo – Kenyans are very smart to know not to vote for a thief and a murderer! You rarely see one person fitting the two ugly titles, but Ruto fits both titles and much more! So, Kenyans are not stupid to vote for Ruto – a cursed man that will pass his curses to the entire country! There will never be a ruto presidency in Kenya!!
Ruto is only guy to beat in…
Ruto is only guy to beat in 2022.His chances of moving to that house in the hill is very very high.Ruto has 85% of kikuyu votes add 90% of kale jobs votes the elections will b won by 10 am n raila will b sent home to bondo to RIP.U can take that to the bank.Unless uhuru/raila support someone like Ekuru Aokot who is clean Ruto remains the favourite for many of kenyans which is hard to swallow for few of the haters.
Stop lying his support in…
Stop lying his support in Kikuyu unknown or rather non existent
@halisi – you sound like…
@halisi – you sound like Lucifer; a true devil incarnate speaking on behalf of another thief and a devil himself (Ruto)!
No kikuyu in his/her right mind can vote for Ruto after he burned babies inside the Kiambaa church; the house of the most high God! You can’t reward a man who have killed a generation of children by burning them!
How come Ruto only killed kikuyu women and children? Ask yourself that simple question before you start hallucinating about kikuyu voting for a murderer and a thief! Haiwezekani!! Only a damn fool can vote for Ruto!
Hehee!How dare you say that…
Hehee!How dare you say that no Kikuyu can vote for Hon Ruto? They voted for Jubilee enmass where he was Uhuru running mate.
Majority of those who commented here are hate mongers. He was not at Kiambaa church and Uhuru was not at Naivasha and that is why they were cleared by ICC. Ocampos and most of you rely on circumstancial evidence.
ABOUT the other deaths and theft claims are mare hearsay and not factual at all. If anyone have any tangible evidence, pls come forward and record statement with the directorate of Criminal Investigation otherwise keep mum.

Kenya, Africa and the black…
Kenya, Africa and the black nation can pretend to change the constitution to curtail corruption but that is just a bad dream. We operate in a foreign language, education, foreign gods, foreign constitution (laws of a foreign nation) that are designed to take our land and our human resources. For over 400 years we have been pretending to solve black man’s issues using foreign tactics. We never resolved anything and we never will. They are already laughing at 47 counties with 48 governments in one black man’s country (Kenya). Gikomba market keeps burning down as same market burns in Nigeria.
We need to re-discover who we are, embrace that and start building our nation ( The black nation)
This may be delayed, but that is where we are headed. Anything fake is being exposed and deleted. There is no where to go anymore than back to who we are. Anything and everything foreign has been tried on us and hasn’t worked. No more experts, we are our own best experts as to who we are!!
It’s time for Revelation and Restoration!!
Uhuru is fooling and using…
Uhuru is fooling and using Raila. If constitution is ammended who said He will not vie for Presidency again under the so called BBI constitution?
