President Kenyatta has castigated Deputy President William Ruto for what he termed as making empty promises to Kenyans ahead of the August 9th general elections.
In a thinly-veiled attack, Kenyatta slammed Ruto for criticizing the performance of the same government he servers, adding that the deputy president failed to deliver and abandoned his duties to engage in premature campaigns.
“…mimi nasikitika nikiona wengine ng’we ng’we, mtu amekuwa huku amepewa kazi badala ya kazi ni mdomo, alafu sasa tutafanya, na tutafanya…kwa nini hukufanya wakati ulikuwa huko?” Kenyatta posed.
“Hii mambo ya makelele kila saa, kichwa yako ni makelele huko na huku, watu wawache upuzi. Wanafikiria ukienda huko uone mtu ako na shida…mimi nitatatua hiyo. Kwa nini hukutatua huko mbele? Mwache kuniletea bwana!”
Kenyatta, who spoke on Saturday during the National Council for Ushirika Day at KICC in Nairobi, further defended Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya’s track record, saying he has streamlined the sector since he took over from Ruto’s ally Mwangi Kinjuri three years ago.
“Munya here in three years has brought changes in the agricultural sector, they were there for eight years, what did they do? They are the ones who don’t understand,” he remarked.
At the same time, the president called on Kenyans to “think very hard” before electing leaders as the country heads to the polls in 37 days.
“Lakini vile nimesema ni shauri yenu, nobody is forcing anyone to do anything. Lakini fikirieni, think very hard. You build on what you have taken, you take it forward. You are given responsibilities to go forward not to go backward,” Uhuru advised.
“Kama wewe kazi yako ni kuangalia rear view mirror, huna chochote unaweza kuambia mtu pahali unataka kuenda…kazi yako ni kuangalia yule alifanya…yule alichukua bibi yangu; kama alichukua bibi yako si utafute mwingine! We want to move forward, if there are problems, let’s correct them and move forward.”
Mr. President, Yes we want…
Mr. President, Yes we want to move forward but not with Raila. Raila is our past. An old man is not capable of leading a young generation. He has been in government one way or the other for over 40 years.
Raila attempted to take the Presidency by force in the 1982 Coup.
He took Kibaki’s government by force, 2nd term- Nusu Mkate
Raila took Nusu Mkate from your own government by swearing himself as people’s President against God and against our constitution.
How many Kenyans have died in Raila’s hand including the Gikuyu’s he had burned in the house of God in order for him to become Prime Minister?
Mr. President Raila is your preferred candidate but he is our dirty past and we refuse to go there.
The wind of change is blowing.
Let the best man win. Hand over power to whoever wins and go home peaceful per the constitution!!
You’ve done your part. Leave Kenya to others, it will continue and let God’s will be done in Kenya!!
WE??
WE??

Age for s nothing but a number. The most crooked dictators africa has ever seen were ‘young people’ from museveni, mobutu, ssaso ngweso, idi amin, putin, etc the list is endless just google had nothing else but brutality unleashed to their people.so do not play the age card as it cheapens your argument bro. Better Old Raila than clueless ‘young’ people all thinking about looting opportunities!!! Shame on is all ave discriminators, tushindwe!!!

Tell him. Didn’t Kibaki do a Good job at his Old age? Yes he Did and Did it very Well except for 2007 upwards. Raila will Do very Well too.?
@ Mathaai Kaina,
It’s not…
@ Mathaai Kaina,
It’s not just age, it’s also character. Raila’s track record of trail of tears, deaths and violence leave alot to be desired. We are moving from the era of violence in the world to the era of peace. With all that:
We still say ” Let the best man win” and our President remain neutral. Until our president’s last day, he should be the president for all including the opposition!!
Mr President,
Remember you…
Mr President,
Remember you are not running for any seat in the government. You should not take sides. You should a President for Raila and his followers; you should be a President for Ruto’s and his followers.
Be neutral and finish your term.
Your job, whether good or bad is done.
Just thank Kenyans for giving you an opportunity to serve them for 10 years.
Be grateful and move on!!
But anyone with a brain…
But anyone with a brain knows that you are the #1 corrupt kingpin along with your family! Almost every policy has been structured to benefit a few using borrowed public money! Impunity and Grand Corruption!
Uhuru knows what he is…
Uhuru knows what he is talking about. Their first 5 yrs was about looting the country dry, calling each other “brothers”, perhaps the evil brothers . After elections they were supposed to do something small but one brother deserted his duties, went campaigning 5 years earlier. Both are going home leaving Kenyans hungry. Time to vote wisely.
My heart weeps for the…
My heart weeps for the Kenyan people who can’t see what Ruto is up to. Ruto is no good!

Tell that crook to stop the upuzi Mr President! Yeye Ruto ni bure kabisa. How long is he going to keep on lying.
Hi Unyee, what is wrong with the Kikuyus in Central Kenya allowing a man who killed their women and children inside a Kiambaa church to lie to them? I thought Kikuyus were very sharp people to be deceived by some mad dude!
@Khaemba, I thought Gikuyus…
@Khaemba, I thought Gikuyus at Kiambaa church were burnt alive by Raila. Ruto was not running for president. You don’t remember that?
Ruto ordered the massacre…
Ruto ordered the massacre allegedly, unless you are not a Kenyan. It is all public information and was the eldoret kingpin right from the time he was eldoret north mp. Where is Raila influence hapo. Just think smarter na wacha emotions za upuzi.. i lived in eldoret and lost a close relative in that church.
YES! It was Raila and not…
YES! It was Raila and not Ruto. It was Kibaki who circumcised Jan’gos with mabati na panga in Nakuru and not Uhuru…call a spade what it is!
@Khahemba..Do You have any…
@Khahemba..Do You have any evidence about your claims?..did you witness Rutto himself with all pangas & arrows killing our brothers & sisters over there??, saw him running with the menace???….Dont rely on media na propaganda of yours to justify your dislikes/prejudice about Ruto Candidacy
Uhuru Kenyatta and William…
Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto are complete failures.
They lied to everyone and the continue lying.
Kenyans are dying of hunger. They need food.
Mr Uhuru Kenyatta you are…
Mr Uhuru Kenyatta you are the epitome of corruption in Kenya. You have slept on your job for the last 5 years after you brought in your old guy to help you run the government. You have led Kenyans die of hunger, starvation and increased poverty.
There’s nothing Ruto could have implemented under your other to give you his smart brains to enable you run a country. You choose not to listen to him. And you and Raila helped each other to temporarily make Kenya a one party state for the last 5 years. Your virtual deputy president Raila has absconded his duties for the last 4 years yet he draws a whooping ks250 million every year from the taxpayers. Together you have ganged up to sell part of Kenya to yourselves through made up companies ostensibly from Dubai.
Remember you read Kenyans your doomed manifesto in 2013 yet you were deputy to Kibaki. Why couldn’t you have done whatever you were reading when you were in government?
You have killed the farming in Kenya because you and your family have vested interests in it. You need to be investigated.
Shut your damn kalenjin…
Shut your damn kalenjin mouth if you don’t know your damn Ruto is the thief in kenya. Go write a shitty story book if you don’t know the facts. You are a sickening creature in your silly mind.
Warid, why not go to court…
Warid, why not go to court as private citizen if you think Ruto is a thief? You got to list and proof your wild allegations before you open your propaganda mouth.
Just because Ruto gives back to society unlike your lord of poverty doesn’t make him a thief!
@Warid…I guess you lost…
@Warid…I guess you lost any sentiments to contribute on this forum except whining on tribe card ….Grown up brother from your tribal infectious disease on you!!..
