Deputy President William Ruto on Monday paid a courtesy call on the Archbishop of Canterbury, His Grace Justin Welby in London, the United Kingdom.
Details of the meeting between Archbishop Welby and Ruto, who is presently on a tour of the UK, were not made public.
Through his official Twitter handle, Welby said he was happy to meet Ruto and is looking forward to meeting ODM leader Raila Odinga during his tour of the UK next week.
“Good to meet @WilliamsRuto this afternoon. Looking forward to seeing @RailaOdinga next week. Praying for peaceful, open, and credible elections on 9th August,” Archbishop Welby noted.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the senior bishop and principal leader of the Church of England, the symbolic head of the worldwide Anglican Communion, and the bishop of the Diocese of Canterbury in Kent.
On Monday, Ruto also delivered an address at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) in London, where he claimed that the opposition has rendered the Jubilee administration ‘a mongrel of a government system.’
The deputy president further noted that President Kenyatta became a ‘refugee’ in the opposition following the March 2018 handshake between him and Odinga.
“Today in Kenya, we have a mongrel of a government system. You don’t know whether it is the government that is in opposition or the opposition is the one that is in government,” he remarked.
“The leader of the opposition is a project of the system and the deep state of the government. Unfortunately, the leader of what is supposed to be the ruling party is actually a squatter or a refugee in the opposition party,” he added.
Ruto needs to quit and speak…
Ruto needs to quit and speak from outside, he can’t continue to have his cake and eat it at the same time. He is as much an embarrassment as the government that he continues to criticize.
Ruto is like a prostitute…
Ruto is like a prostitute who wants the ordinary Kenyans to pay him while he is lying about the same government that pays him.
He should be forced to resign and be put in jail for treasonous acts of talking so badly about our country in a foreign land.
If things were so bad according to Ruto, why not step down and concentrate with his endless campaigns? Give Kenyans a break Ruto!
The Bishop of Canterbury…
The Bishop of Canterbury should tell Ruto to repent his sins of killing 37 women and children during the 2007 Kiambaa massacre in Eldoret. The Ruto killings are know facts here in England.
Kenyans know that Ruto slaughtering and burning of the kikuyu women is well documented in the books of Canterbury. We can’t have religious leaders welcoming murderers without speaking the truth to them.
The world should not continue to burry heads in the sand when politicians commit atrocious acts to innocently humanity.
Women are getting raped by…
Women are getting raped by bonda Bonda while Ruto is enjoying a cup of tea with a Bushop of Canterbury. Ruto should be in kenya assisting the president fight the go away crimes across the country. Ruto is all about himself and publicity.
Mr. Ruto please give us…
Mr. Ruto please give us concrete political decisions and plans that you intend to formulate and put into practice to steer Kenya in the right direction. Stop blaming others. You remind me of a small child always complaining and pointing fingers. Your political advisers are doing a very poor job. Man, you have a PhD remember how we defend dissertations put the same tactic into political campaign.
Ruto had such a difficult…
Ruto had such a difficult time defending his stolen PhD dissertation. It was written by a paid writer and Ruto did not take the time to review the material.
As far as asking Ruto to grow up, it will not happen because Ruto prevails in blaming others for all the problems he has created.
At the same time he want to take credit from the work Uhuru has been doing alone. Ruto does not have a plan for kenya except the dead butt down poverty driven economy and more stealing by him and his kalenjin tribesmen.
This Con is busy squandering…
This Con is busy squandering tax payers money together with Goldenberg MaDvD, Waiguru NYS and other minions. It won’t be long before it all comes to an end in August. You will load up those empty promises you keep dishing while you get paid a DP salary by poor Wanjiku & take them to Surgoi.
It’s UDAku alias Kenya…
It’s UDAku alias Kenya Kwisha group of thieves that will keep re-branding themselves until the end of the game.
Rigathi can’t even explain shs 200 million which he stole from the CDF kitty. All of them in UDAku will destroy kenya worse than Moi did.
Ruto is the wrong character to take over power from Uhuru. He should be kept away from the presidency by all means. He is heading to be jailed in ICC anyway.
That Surgoi house belongs to…
That Surgoi house belongs to Wanjiku because it was build with stolen wanjiku’s money. I don’t know where Ruto is going but he is surely going soon. Kenya can have a thief for a president. No, no, no!
How does the white Bishop of…
How does the white Bishop of Canterbury feel standing next to a man who has murdered so many Kenyans – the Kiambaa women and children who Ruto burned alive and called their planned killing a simple accident, Kenei, Juma, yebei, etc?
The Britons never feel guilty dining with a murderer like DP Ruto because they also have killed thousands of Kenyans in the past.
It’s important to read the life history of the man you are taking photo ops with lest he gets you too.
Sonko just got banned from…
Sonko just got banned from traveling to the US. But my big question is why Sonko and leave out Ruto who have stolen more than Sonko have stolen? Ruto have even killed known Kenyans!
It does not make much sense to let Ruto travel to the US but Sonk can’t travel there. Is this the double standard America practices?
Of what relevance is this …
Of what relevance is this .As far as it comes to the coming elections in August the small few voters in the UK will not matter and no President was ever elected by the diaspora their numbers are too small.This galavanting all over the place is just a charade , a photo opp to get views on social media If it is campaign money you are looking for the billions stolen from Covid should be enough.I do not see how the Anglican Church of England’s approval or disapproval will influence my vote or that of my relatives only the wearer of the shoe knows where it hurts.Surely this is not the time to kiss white ass Raila is also behaving in the same manner since when did foreigners opinions count when it comes to elections.
Many Kenyan don’t know or…
Many Kenyan don’t know or understand the 30 mens and women accompanying Ruto are using taxpayer money. When uhuru held sagana 3 meeting Ruto allies starting with Gachagua accused him bribing people with 20k. If it’s true at least Kenyan benefitted rather than us & UK trip. Kenyan especially young generation should look at this as hypocrite and a conman who is ready to pay any price to ascend to power. The man tells lie after lie and promise after promise. He’s never never ashamed or look at his past record.
The same person multi…
The same person multi different pseudo names and the rest few above seems so obsessed with Hon Ruto. It’s said that any bad publicity is indeed good publicity. Keep doing your insane propaganda but unfortunately it has no bad consequences but good.
Ruto attracts your every minute attention.
Thanks for dedicating your lives to Hon Ruto.
Makamu wa Rais Ndugu…
Makamu wa Rais Ndugu Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto:
Ningependa kujua kwa nini mpaka sasa wewe hujamjibu ndugu yetu mwana bunge mwenzako ambaye anakuchafulia jina lako hadharani?
Nina hakika majasusi wako wanaoandika hapa bila shaka wameshapata ujumbe huu na kuusoma kwa makini. Kwa nini hawajakuambia ili nawe upate nafasi ya kujikinga na kung’arisha jina lako?
