Deputy President William Ruto has accused President Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga of betraying him and being ungrateful.vHe said he helped the two to ascend to top positions in the government but they have ganged up to scuttle his 2022 presidential bid.
Ruto, who is eying the presidency next year, said he was instrumental in Uhuru and Raila’s journey to becoming president and prime minister respectively.
“I campaigned for Raila Odinga in 2007 to the point I was almost being locked up in Hague. I helped my friend Uhuru Kenyatta to become President in the 2013 and 2017 general elections. Now, they have teamed up to lock me out of the presidency, claiming my father was a nobody in Kenya,” said Ruto.
“Even the child of a single mother can become President in this country. Let them go away,” he added.
Ruto spoke on Saturday in Malava, Kakamega County, where he stated that Kenyans are no longer interested in politics of amending the constitutions and sharing leadership positions.
“This time around, we are not concentrating on changing the Constitution to create positions for a few prominent people. We are concentrating on the bottom-up economic model. At the centre of the model, are the low-income people such as mama mbogas and bodaboda operators,” Ruto said.
Ghaii that outfit – ha ha…
Ghaii that outfit – ha ha Ruto is a joker!
In 2007 campaign, you and…
In 2007 campaign, you and Raila burnt into ashes, innocent children, women and men in Kiambaa church -a house of God, because of the vote. Both of you are violent and evil and neither of you should ever become president of Kenya because you have blood of our people in your hands. And we will never forget ever!
@Mwororo….I think for our…
@Mwororo….I think for our people to eradicate such hurtful and damaging memories, we need to get rid of these “old” politicians. It’s hard to separate who is who. We voted for Uhuruto which included Ruto and current president. The came the handshake (for which the mwanainchi were not part of) and we were silenced. If we want change, we need to get rid of these guys – wote. The presidential vote would be best served to a minority candidate, (e.g Gov Mutua) who forward thinkers to see if Kenya will regain it’s lustre. Unfortunately, our people are often blinded by promises and bribery, so this may remain, but a dream.
The First time I can agree…
The First time I can agree with you @sukari that we need to clean up the house and get rid of all these politicians who come up with some dead slogans like matakonomics which has no legs! Bottom-down will not work, it can’t work, and it has never worked anywhere in the world! Ruto is just throwing some kubafu stuff out there fir political consumption by hoi Paloi!!
We need to elect politicians like governor Mutua to try someone new! We as Kenyans cannot continue to live a lie while our country is being ravaged by dogs like Ruto!
There is no future in Ruto! Period! He is running for presidency to gratify his dead ego and even accumulate more stolen property, and more gsu men to guard him! Just look at how Ruto is dressed up here just like a clown to win the souls of the weak! Ruto will destroy Kenya if elected president!
Things must change for the better in Kenya!
Is it a Halloween costumes?

Jamani! Ni nani huyu…
Jamani! Ni nani huyu ameshika ishara ya dini bandia ya kigeni na kujifanya kasisi!
Mtu yeyote ambaye ameacha majina ya asili yake, lugha ya asili yake, imani ya asili yake, mila za asili yake yafaa ahamie kule ambako anajitambulisha kuwa mmojawapo wa raia wenye misimamo kama ile aliyoiga!
Ndugu Samoei haaminiki kama mtu anayeweza kuingoza nchi ya Kenya akiwa na tabia zake za ajabu ambazo sijui alikozizoa.
Ruto has tremendous…
Ruto has tremendous insecurities surrounding him! Uhuru cannot reconcile with a shallow minded man like Ruto!
Why is Ruto going to a church to gossip about Uhuru and Raila? I thought Ole Sapit banned politicking in Church? When are the other preachers going to catch up with Ole Sapit and protect the house of God??
Everything about Ruto is just about blaming others! He never sees anything he has done wrong that require fixing! Now Uhuru and Raila has betrayed him as he says! Next time he will be blaming his own mother for having him! Ruto do some soul searching and you will see you are not an Angel!
I truly think Uhuru should stay as far as possible from Ruto! Ruto is just too much unnecessary burden for Uhuru to carry!
Ruto is not mature enough…
Ruto is not mature enough mentally to be the net president! Kenya cannot have a clown for president. Ruto is a big CLOWN!
Well Ruto! I thought you…
Well Ruto! I thought you have said nobody owes you anything?
Stop whining and move on with life!
Why are you politicking in church! Now you want to disrespect Ole Sapit?
People of malava, ask Ruto…
People of malava, ask Ruto what is in it for you in this bottom-up trashy economics!?? Ruto does not know precisely why he is talking about.
Why does Ruto not start…
Why does Ruto not start distributing his stolen wealth to man’s mboga na Tuku Tuku owners and ask them to pay enough taxes for government to collect taxes? Ruto is beginning to be a huge burden to Kenyans!
Ruto you have no business…
Ruto you have no business running for the presidency! People have rejected your dirty narrative of pulling them down! It is all about Ruto and no body else! Go away we’re tired of lies!!
Who is going to be blamed…
Who is going to be blamed for the forthcoming COVID infections in the coming two-three weeks?There has been a series of vote-hunting meetings by murderers Njoho,Raila,thugs-kina Wanjigi,Musalia,Ruto etc but I have only counted less than 100 people wearing musks.
Carry your own cross. Your…
Carry your own cross. Your own actions are your undoing. You have stolen a lot of money from government projects, public lands and even from individuals. You led the crashes in the Rift Valley, burnt women and children sheltered in PCEA Kiambaa church, and you are a candidate for The Hague. Stop blaming anyone. You have a messed up political life. Bottom up economy is nonsense. It’s those who have stolen who should start industries and employ our youth to lift them up from poverty. Wananchi are already working hard. It’s people like you who steal from the government and import maize instead of promoting local farmers who kill all their efforts and impoverish them. You steal money for dam construction that would have lifted the economies of those around the dams. Kenyans are not foolish. Raila and Uhuru do not owe you anything. They don’t own Kenya. They have one vote just like the rest of us. Wheelbarrows don’t lift economies. This is technological age. Bring technology and the youth will have jobs. Safaricom employs many of our youth, not from wheelbarrows but from technology. You are a backward fellow though you claim to hold a PhD. Kenya can do without you. That’s why both are running away from you. Uhuru will not hand over Kenya to a thief and his company of thieves. Repent and return the stolen loot. You are a real hustler, a real fraudster. You are earning a salary without working, you have used government resources for the last 4 years to do campaigns. If you had any conscience you would have resigned way before now. You have 257 strong military personnel guarding you and your stolen properties. Kenyans are sleeping on empty stomachs while you feast troupes of sycophants at Karen house. You have no shame seeing Kenyans go without healthcare while you have become the “chief super spreader of Covid 19”. We are watching. We are not fools. Enough for today.!

@kamande – I want to get two of the gsu guarding Ruto’s chickens to guard my house in Runda! Just 2 my fren!

Just call Ruto. I think he will be kind enough to give you two and he will be left with 255.
@DPruto – Pastor Jacob of…
@DPruto – Pastor Jacob of USA have commanded you to slow down because you are stretching your heart too thin with unimportant political matters! He said even Kibaki’s and Uhuru did not work that hard to become presidents.
The pastor said, “promotion comes from God”! He mentioned something like Rachel and the kids need you!
My question to you Ruto is this: are you fearful that the ICC will catch up with you but the presidency will save you from prosecution?
“Guard your heart from all things from where the issues of life come”!
Very good advise from the…
Very good advise from the man of clothes! All the reason people think Ruto does not believe in God because of his ugly public behavior display! He sounds bitter all the time and his face shows deep rage!
Why does he have to insult Raila and Uhuru all the time!?
Has Ruto turned out to be kimundu kiguruki like Raila would say?
Ndugu Rais Uhuru Ngina kamau…
Ndugu Rais Uhuru Ngina kamau/Kenyatta:
Nakuomba tafadhali uikomeshe mikutano yote ya siasa ili uviko (COVID-19) imalizwe nguvu.
Nimewaona watu wengi ambao wanahudhuria miktani ya siasa bila kuvaa barakoa (face mask). Watu kama hawa wanaporudi nyumbani wanasambaza virusi vya Korona kwa familia zao.
Nakuomba tafadhali upige marufuku mikutano yote ya siasa nchini mpaka tunakapovishinda virusi vya korona.
Victim mentality bad for biz…
Victim mentality bad for biz. Kenyattas are infamous for betraying generations. DP has betrayed a few and needs to repent too and forgive
Is Ruto gone mad? Now he is…
Is Ruto gone mad? Now he is dressing like a Mungaga to impress who? Something is really wrong with Ruto! He is trying too hard! His Kichwa iko sawa? Jameni!!
Please Uhuru do not meet with this charlatan DP of yours! He might fart and you end up catching his lunacy.
I won’t meet to reconcile with a mad ? dude! For what???? Is Ruto for real????
The Covid 19 rapid spreaders…
The Covid 19 rapid spreaders like Ruto and Wanjigi must be arrested and put in jail! They are deliberately courting Covid while they themselves have received the jab!
Are these rouge politicians who only think about themselves gone stupid!? Get them off the streets to save lives!
Huyu mjinga anajidai yeye ni…
Huyu mjinga anajidai yeye ni victim il hali yeye ndio perpetrator mwenyewe.
Ndugu Samoei Arap Ruto…
Ndugu Samoei Arap Ruto amepigwa msasa (brainwashed) kuamini dini ya kigeni iliyo na msingi wa Kiyahudi. Amepigwa msasa kiwango ambacho hata hajui amepigwa msasa.
Sijui kwa nini huyu ndugu yetu haelewi ya kwamba, duniani kuna dini yapata 4,300. Kila dini inatokana na lugha, historia, na mila za watu. Tangu lini huyu ndugu yetu amekuwa Myahudi?
Jambo linaloniudhi sana ni kumwona huyu ndugu yetu akiendelea kusambaza (spread) dini hii bandia ya kigeni katika nchi ya Kenya. Kama elimu tunayopata shuleni inatufanya tuyachukie majina yetu ya asili, lugha zetu za asili, mila zetu za asili, imani yetu ya asili, historia yetu ya asili, elimu kama hii yafaa ipigwe marufuku kabisa nchini. Haifai kamwe kufundishwa shuleni au mahali popote nchini.
Ningependa kumshauri huyu ndugu yetu awe kasisi halafu aachane kabisa na mambo yote yanayohusiana na uongozi wa nchi 2022.
Any time he opens his mouth…
Any time he opens his mouth he bitches. All day long. “ they did this to me bla blah blah”. Now
he dresses like a lunatic.
This Ruto is always blaming…
This Ruto is always blaming some body else for his short comings! It is either Uhuru or Raila! Then he will climb way down the ladder to blame CS Matiangi. How immature can Ruto get?
I would slap him senselessly if he was my first born son! He lacks good manners! How is he going to revile with Uhuru while he can’t even reconcile his state of mind with himself? How…..?
I feel we should one time…
I feel we should one time try the US voting process, where the electoral vote would be the determinant irrespective of how vote-rich one’s home turf is.
Imagine, Rift sending same number of electoral votes as those from any other county. That way we wouldn’t see leaders using the populations as the leverage.
@K I think a hybrid version…
@K I think a hybrid version would work better. Currently if you live in a solid blue or red state forget about seeing a contender. If the distribution was proportional, say you get 51% in a state with 8 votes you’d get 5 votes as opposed to all 8 with the number rising as your % does. This would mean a 50 state campaign as opposed to the current 6-8 states that get the most attention. In Kenya, currently Nairobi, Mt. Kenya, Rift Valley and Western Kenya have the most votes and the most money and consequently leaders tend to be drawn from these areas. Jomo- Central, Moi- Rift Valley, Kibaki – Central and Uhuru(really from Nairobi). Previous also rans were from Nyanza(Raila) Central(Matiba) and Nairobi(Uhuru). Current front runners are from Nyanza and Rift Valley. This means that the leaders from other areas are effectively left out of the running and we are stuck with tweedle dee and tweedle dum. On the other hand, I still think we should go back to 8 provinces plus one central administrative province(Nairobi) drawn with roughly equal populations (around 5.5 million) and not on ethnic lines like the old ones. As population increases, redraw and add counties as necessary to keep that balance.
