Deputy President William Ruto has responded to his critics who accused him of absconding his duties after he skipped Monday’s Covid-19 conference presided over by President Kenyatta.
Ruto had been invited to attend the conference held at Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi with the program indicating that he was set to speak before inviting the president to address the meeting.
He did not show up and the seat reserved for him next to the president’s sitting place remained unoccupied with Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i taking up the role of inviting Uhuru to the podium.
Ruto’s decision to boycott the meeting sparked mixed reactions with some leaders rebuking him for absconding his duties.
Speaking at his Karen residence on Wednesday, Ruto dismissed those questioning his work as busybodies, stating that he has diligently executed his role as the principal assistant to the President. He added that all the duties and responsibilities assigned to him by the President have been discharged with distinction.
“No work has been given to me and I failed to execute,” he said. “Who are they to complain about my work? Who made them my supervisors?”
Ruto further wondered why his critics are questioning his performance yet his boss, President Kenyatta has never complained.
“My boss has not complained about my performance,” he said, adding that he understands his work.
@Ruto – your boss does not…
@Ruto – your boss does not have to complain about your absent without leave status because he does not have the time for your babish childish tantrums! You are a huge shame to the people of Kenya! It is time to resign and let a working DP be elected!
Please talk about your own…
Please talk about your own thinking. I doubt you’re speaking for many Kenyans.

Kenyans have had enough of your stupidity! Move on and vacate the DP position!
You continue to get paid by tax payers but you have no shame using people’s DP official home as your campaigning ground! You are the worst scam of the earth.

Ruto is the worst divisive character Kenyans have ever known! Quite unfortunate that the poor still blindly follow him around for cheap eating!

Does ruto know what is the right thing to do or what is the wrong thing to do? His disregard for the people must stop!
Impeach Ruto! He is not…
Impeach Ruto! He is not doing his job! Why does he have to wait to be tasked by Uhuru? There is a lot of work to be done and he should know what to do!
Why is Ruto getting paid…
Why is Ruto getting paid while he does not work! Close this freely running tap and get ruto out of the DP official home! We the people demand that Ruto be fired!
Ruto missed a huge…
Ruto missed a huge opportunity to show solidarity with the people of Kenya by failing to attend the covid19 conference. He failed himself in a truly bad way!
I do not care how strained the relationship between him and Uhuru is – he failed the Kenyan people as they work very hard together to fight a disease that have killed many in Kenya! Kenyans do not need to invite a whole DP to attend a covid19 conference! He knows better.
Ruto deserted the people of Kenya at the hour of need; and I assure you the people will desert Ruto at the ballot box! The current challenging times require each one of us to act mature and level headed in matters of state functions to deliberate for solutions necessary to put our country first!
Ruto showed a grave level of immaturity in the name of snubbing Uhuru. He also subbed the honorable tax payers who pays Ruto with their toil! He does not have an explanation for his level of childish behavior! Kenyans should be outraged!
Ruto wants people’s votes…
Ruto wants people’s votes but he can not attend a covid19 meeting to help chart a way forward! What a selfish rooster!? What a fool!?
RUTO IS RIGHT, WE HAVE A…
RUTO IS RIGHT, WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO HAS NO SENSE OF DIRECTION OR EMPATHY.
ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS LINING HIS POCKETS AND HIS GOONS, PROTECTING THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM AND DESTROYING THOSE WHO CRITICIZE HIM.
WHETHER RUTO PERFORMED OR NOT REFLECTS ON UHURU…BUT BOTH OF THEM ARE A PRODUCT OF THE POLITICAL GENIUS MOI.
Why are you making comments…
Why are you making comments as if as you are speaking for other Kenyans?Speak for yourself.Ruto is not desperate to accompany unthankful boss.Uhuru is isolating him but pushing for election of Kenya’s No1 butcher,Raila.But the worst are foolish Kenyans who take sides instead of planning how to EJECT and ELIMINATE all these elite thugs-ki GHANA’s GARY LAWRING STYLE.
Actions speak louder than…
Actions speak louder than words.Uhuru had no problem replacing and humiliating all your minions.He is just retaliating for your over ambitiousness assuming you will be the next president campaigning when he is still in office.The writing is on the wall you are as good as done whether he fires you or you quit same difference hiyo kiti hutawahi kalia.Kenya iko na wenyewe.
Before the 2013 elections,…
Before the 2013 elections, we heard more than you are saying now. We even heard that they will not be allowed to go to any country. We saw over two hundred cases in court to block them from being elected.
You better give yourself time until Ruto is not elected in 2022 lest you be left wit an egg on the face.
Your constitution is total…
Your constitution is total RUBBISH.Simply Ruto was elected together with your gangster prezo.Remove him and they go together.It is the same case if Uhuru dissolves parliament.Your poop katiba says elections of parliament are held the together with those of prezo.Disolve it but they go together.Only a revolution and elimination of these elite thugs will save Kenya.
@menye – Who is the gangster…
@menye – Who is the gangster here? A fool like you on wheelchair who hangs around the street corners hoping to steal and kill motorists or the president? You are supporting Ruto because he is your mentor in stealing!
An old murderer on Naivasha…
An old murderer on Naivasha roads is now calling for a revolution! Learn how to walk first before you can keep up with a revolution! You damn fool!!
