Deputy President William Ruto has echoed the words of Jesus Christ in responding to utterances from Environment Cabinet Secretary Keriako Tobiko who referred to him as the clerk to the President.
Speaking on Sunday night interview at Weru TV, DP Ruto downplayed the insults stating that he can only forgive the CS. Instead he claimed that the CS should be focused on service delivery.
“We can only forgive them. We should be focused on delivery of services. As Cabinet Secretaries, with President Uhuru Kenyatta have mandated them to help in the delivery of the Jubilee manifesto,”Ruto said.
He added; “It’s unfortunate to see leaders who have never been elected lecturing elected leaders. Such leaders are a threat to the country’s unity.”
Ruto sentiments on Weru TV echoes what he had earlier said while attending a church service in ACK Athi River. He asked the CS to be humble in their service delivery and ensure Kenyans are well served.

This comes after CS Tobiko told off the Deputy President stating that the office of the President is not vacant which implied that he stop his early campaigns trails.
However, Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen had earlier decided to fight Ruto’s wars asking the President to sack CS Tobiko for disrespecting his Deputy.
Without the blessings of the President these idiotic CSs would never have insulted the DP.William Ruto is not anyone’s clerk,he was jointly elected with the President&without him Uhuru would not be President&Tobiko would never be a clerk. In a working state Tobiko would be sacked pic.twitter.com/hHlU2Kg6gD

The exchange between Murkomen and CS Tobiko escalated into a full blown battle with each side daring one another for a political showdown to settle the scores.
We have a CS who is mentally deranged.Just because of one tweet he has exploded&now promising to revenge against me&my father. Never mine the facts he will find some crime somewhere in the books.Just imagine this idiot was once our DPP!From Embobut to Tobiko I say come baby come! pic.twitter.com/h23YFO5Kp4

DP Ruto however chose a middle ground in calming down the bitter exchange.
On the ongoing clamour to change the Constitution, the DP said that creating five position for five tribal kingpins is not the answer.
“The problem is not the Constitution but the people. We have been told that we need to change the Constitution to avoid electoral violence. The Constitution does not cause violence. The violence is caused by people who do not want to accept election results,” Ruto said.

He said that the agenda should be to eliminate tribal politics in our parties and champion a national agenda.
“Unemployed youth languishing in poverty form the biggest group, bigger than any tribal group. This group is the biggest stakeholder in the formation of the next government,” Ruto said.
