ODM leader Raila Odinga has challenged Deputy President William Ruto to resign if he is tired of working with President Kenyatta.
While accusing Ruto of sabotaging the government from inside, Odinga said the DP should be bold enough to step down like his late father Jaramogi Oginga Odinga did in 1966.
Jaramogi quit as the vice president when he disagreed with Kenya’s first President the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.
“When Jaramogi disagreed with Kenyatta on the issues of land he wrote a letter that said he found it no longer tenable to remain in government and he resigned. He had the courage and decency to say I am stepping aside because I don’t want to earn a salary and I’m doing nothing. So if you have a problem with your boss, take a walk! Get out of it!” Mr. Odinga said.
Odinga spoke on Saturday at his rural home in Siaya County, where he hosted a delegation of leaders and elders from the Mount Kenya region.
He also took a swipe at DP Ruto for opposing the March 9th, 2018 handshake which gave rise to the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
“Uhuru has tried to live by what we agreed. But when Uhuru is pulling in this direction the other one is pulling in this opposition direction so he cannot be able to deliver what they promised the people of Kenya,” added Odinga.
Raila also faulted DP Ruto’s recent program where he has been donating wheelbarrows and hand carts to youths as a way of empowering them, stating that tokenism and handouts are not a solution to unemployment.
“Ati unasaidia wakina mama, makanisa na vijana na wheelbarrows. Wheelbarrownomics will not solve Kenyan problems. You must address these issues properly,” he said.

Nakuomba tafadhali ukomeshe mikutano yote ya siasa mpaka mwaka wa 2022. Wanaofanya mikutano hii ya siasa, wamesahau ya kwanba virusi vya korona vingali hai. Ajabu ni kuwa, nimewaona viongozi wa mikutano hii hawawalazimishi wanaohudhuria kuvaa barakoa. Kufanya hivi bila shaka ni kuyahatarisha maisha ya wanaohudhuria.
I request that you stop any political meetings until 2022. The organizers of these meetings, have forgotten that the deadly corona viruses are still alive. It is amazing that the leaders of these meetings are not demanding the participants to wear face masks. Not demanding social distancing and the wearing of the face masks is endangering the lives of all those attending these gatherings.
Nimestaajabu kumwona Dakitari Boni Khalwale akifanya maombi barabarani bila ya kuwa na kinga yoyote ya virusi vya korona!
I was surprised to see a medical physician Dr. Boni Khwalwale in a political meeting on the road without taking any precautions against the corona viruses!

You will survive to set free the Hustler Nation.

Ruto must have a lot of…
Ruto must have a lot of stolen wheelbarrows that he is now freely passing on to the youth. I blame the Kenyan youth for allowing a whole deputy president reduce them into beggars. This is equivalent to buying the youth some busaa for some votes!
Since when did a wheelbarrow convert into a job? Ruto is just encouraging more theft using the desperate youth. Ruto calls the youth hustlers because that is what he is converting them to be – just thieves like himself!
Where is the employment for…
Where is the employment for the youth Ruto? Teach the youth how to fish so they can be self sustaining when you go to jail for everything you have stolen.
BBI will not solve problems…
BBI will not solve problems facing Kenyans either.
Kenya was all set for…
Kenya was all set for looting & corruption by Wakoloni collaboraters the moment Freedom Fighters surrendered their weapons in exchange of economicless freedom. They were mischievously outsmarted by Jomo who never honored the terms of surrender agreement at Ruring’u standium in Nyeri in 1963.
Her majesty the Queen Govt in London made sure that Jomo never honored that agreement with the so called “terrorists” back then.
Neither committing nor fulfilling that agreement became the hallmark of Jomo’s Govt. It continued to be perfected both as a Govt policy as well as a political tactic from then until now.Land resources were grabbed and dished to who was who in the Govt. Equally too were corruption and favourism to those who were royalists to the new Nation.
Kenya ended up becoming a nation of 10 millionaires and 10 million beggars as GM Kariuki perfectly described. It is a lesson learned from the mistake of the past. US of A will never ever negotiate the 2nd amendment for anything! Because the forefathers knew the price of freedom after the War of Revolution against Great Britain.
So, when a revolution come around, don’t trade your arms for anything.
Expired jambazi JM Kariuki…
Expired jambazi JM Kariuki(who once was expired jambazi Kenyatta’s private secretary) was a corrupt land grabber.He coined the slogan-TEN MILLIONAIRES & TEN MILLION BEGGARS just like “CORRUPTION FIGHTER” Raila who is also a professional LOOTER & KILLER.These are useless people who never helped Kenyans achieve anything other than POVERTY and DESTRUCTION.
