Deputy President William Ruto has resorted to making private travel arrangements after he was allegedly denied access to government aircraft.
On August 28th, DP Ruto is said to have flown to Mombasa aboard a commercial Kenya Airways (KQ) flight and spent the night at a private hotel.
This was unlike in the past when Ruto traveled around the country in a military plane and would have spent the night at his Mombasa official residence.
Soy MP Caleb Kositany, who doubles up as Jubilee deputy secretary-general Caleb Kositany, told Sunday Nation that Ruto decided to make private travel plans over frequent frustrations by the government.
“They have shown him that he is unwanted and he has decided to engage wananchi from his pocket if need be. He was not born to wealth or state largesse and therefore financing his travels is not a big deal. He will walk to meet the people if need be,” Kositany said.
Ruto’s spokesperson Emmanuel Talam said the Deputy President chose not to air his frustrations but he is still committed to helping President Kenyatta build his legacy.
“He is not the complaining type. He wants the president to build his legacy and is committed to helping him achieve that,” Talam said.
Ruto was allegedly locked out of his official residence in Mombasa earlier this year, forcing him to spend the night at English Point Marina.
Reports claimed that workers at the property received instructions to remove DP Ruto’s personal effects from the house.
“His clothes and other belongings had already been put in various rooms. It is essentially a home, and therefore his personal effects were in place that morning,” a source told a local daily.
“Around 4 pm, a call came from a senior government official to government employees there that all DP’s personal effects should be removed. It was a shocker.”
Public divorce! Both The…
Public divorce! Both The president & DP have failed this country! They are acting like 4 year olds! Shame on Kenyans for voting for this mess!
I thought Oscar Sudi and…
I thought Oscar Sudi and Murkomen said Ruto have never been part of the government since 2017 when he recently spoke on behalf of Ruto??
So, why does Ruto wants to have access to the privileges provided by a government from which he is no long a part??
Ruto’s mouthpiece allies keep telling the truth about Ruto and then they cry foul when Ruto is denied access to the privileges of a Deputy President! Aaaish!!
What is wrong with Ruto…
What is wrong with Ruto being denied access to the government residence and aircrafts? These are property of the people of Kenya.
M but Ruto is busy holding political campaigns to benefit himself while he has refused to work for the people! I don’t understand it!
Ruto has stolen enough of…
Ruto has stolen enough of money from the people to afford to pay his own political travels! Yes he was not born into wealth but he did not have to steal so much to become a billionaire at the expense of the people! No one should feel sorry for the treatment Ruto is getting from the government! He started the whole saga not knowing he was closely being watch by Uhuru team. Ruto is very greedy man and he has a level of insecurity that is hard to explain!
@Talam – excuse me? You say…
@Talam – excuse me? You say that Ruto wants to help Uhuru build his legacy while he has been busy tearing Uhuru’s legacy down like a mad man? Atlanta you surely need a psychiatrist to analyze your head if you believe in what you just said about Ruto wanting to help Uhuru. Uhuru does not need Ruto to help him with anything! And Ruto is the biggest loser in everything that is happening!

Ndugu Ruto aliingia kwenye siasa 1992. Sasa wakati umefika ni lazima astaafu (retire) na kuwaachie wengine wapya.
THAT’S FINE RUTO…

THAT’S FINE RUTO…
YOU’VE STOLEN ENOUGH…INUA ECONOMY.
Huyu mwizi – DP Ruto! Why…
Huyu mwizi – DP Ruto! Why complain? We are not listening! Pay your own way in life! You ain’t doing anything important to help with state duties! You are just politicking and we have had enough of your nonsense! Deal with it or quit!
Very few Kenyans have stayed…
Very few Kenyans have stayed in government residences and flown in military aircrafts their tax payers money have paid for. It is just a fair game for Ruto to pay for all his expenses!
Why can’t Ruto quit politics…
Why can’t Ruto quit politics if things are that bad as stated by his cronies? Ruto must surely enjoy everything that is happening because he is simply staying put! Wow, these politics must be very good for Ruto to put up with what his allies call humiliation! Ruto is extra happy the way things are!
Muigai Kamau & Ngina is the…
Muigai Kamau & Ngina is the head of looting department in GK.Uhuru and his family have looted more than sh 250b.from 2016 with Uhuru “EATING” sh 200b.EUROBOND at one instance.I congratulate jambazi Ngeno for challenging Uhuru to dissolve the useless/corrupt/unperforming govt if he can’t work with Ruto.Ng’eno told him-ATA HAKTUKUPEMBELEZI,VUNJA SERIKALI MALA MOJA IKIWA HAUTAKI RUTO.ALICHAGULIWA NA WAKENYA SIO WEWE.
@ menye – leave mama Ngina…
@ menye – leave mama Ngina out of you nonsensical insults! You never witnessed her stealing from nobody. Since you foolish name reflects that of an idiotic man, take note that you doing insult you mother’s mother! You truly lack decency and manners. A real man need to teach you good manners by slapping you squarely on your water melon head! You must have conceived of two females and that is why your level of indiscipline is beyond pale!
Glad folks like you are just…
Glad folks like you are just cunt parrots and are useless to say the least!
Ruto has used the term…
Ruto has used the term hustler to lie to people. It is a propaganda too Ruto coined to deceive less fortunate Kenyans.
The hustler propagandist (Ruto) can sleep on the streets after walking to Mombasa! That is what hustlers do without complaining of any privileges taken away!
Why does a man who calls himself a hustler wants the government to provide comfort for him? Live up to your hustler propaganda and continue to lie to the average Kenyans that you are for them. A hustler my foot!!
I had the same feelings as…
I had the same feelings as you! Ruto is throwing gasoline into the fire and then he acts like a Saint the following day saying please don’t insult, don’t curse, respect the president, etc! Who is insulting and inciting the likes of Sudi, didi, Murkomen, kuria, ngunjiri, wahome, Ngeno to start insulting the head of state? It is Ruto himself! Murkomen insults Tobiko and then Ruto jump into the fray to say he got insulted while he is also insulting Tobiko and the Maasai community. Where are the Morans to take charge is Ruto? Ruto is a very useless man! This DP need to be fired and we call it a day!
This man (Ruto) should not…
This man (Ruto) should not be any where close to the coffers of our country and our land! He will steal each and everything and then run away to live in South Sudan where he has a huge chicken farm!
Ruto does not need to be anywhere near the instruments of power! He can’t be a comnand in Chief because he will use the armed forces to eliminate certain tribes.
Uhuru should never hand over our government to Ruto should he win in 2022. Just look at what is happening to America! Democracy has its limits! We must protect our country and all Kenyans!
If it were not for the ICC…
If it were not for the ICC cases, Ruto would have already started attacking the Kikuyus in the Rift Valley! This coward is not afraid to act stupid and head back to the ICC!
Thanks the ICC is closely watching Ruto and all his cronies are afraid to be jailed in The Hague! Thanks God Kenya never ditch the ICC. We will need ICC presence to keep Ruto in check as we come closer to 2022! I still believes Ruto belongs to the ICC jails!
The men from the kalenjin…
The men from the kalenjin community are very useless to the core! Why would ngeno insult mama ngina? He character is quite underserving of any high office. It certainly speaks volumes about the kalenjin men desiring to hold high political officers!
Just think of many of these rouge men (ngeno, Murkomen, sudi, ruto, charagaei, etc) being in charge of the government? Just take a back seat and think about such a group of useless men being in charge of Kenya!?
If a grown man is insulting mama Ngina, all women and children will be killed if Ruto were to be in charge! Haiwezekani to have Ruto and his cronies near the powerful office of president! And let me say that Ruto is equally guilty because he is the one who sets this idiots on fire and then he acts like he is an innocent man!
They have betrayed themselves and what we are witnessing should never be taken lightly!
Ruto is behind everything…
Ruto is behind everything you see happening in the Rift Valley! He has hijacked a group of Rift Valley politicians to frustrate the normal functioning of the government! No one should trust Ruto with any functions of the government. He is undercutting Uhuru to make leading paralyzed. Ruto’s level of intelligence is below that of 2 year old boy! All he care about is himself and corruption. Whatever happens, Ruto should not be given the opportunity to take power after Uhuru in 2022 – win or lose! Ruto is not good for Kenya!!
