Deputy president William Samoei Ruto has promised Kikuyu constituency member of parliament Kimani Ichungwa a lucrative position if he happens to form government on 9th August 2022.
William Ruto made it clear during the Kasarani national delegates conference (NDC) to Kimani Ichungwa that he should apply for the leader of majority in parliament so that he leads UDA in the house.
According to Ruto, the Kikuyu legislator is way much more qualified to be the leader of the majority should the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) government win the general election.
However, these sentiments of Ruto endorsing Kimani Ichungwa did not go well with their followers who not only told him off but also urged him to keep off from making such reckless statements that could hurt other leaders eyeing the same position.
“Ruto such statements of endorsing leaders will only spoil for you. As the party leader you ought to be neutral since there are those interested in the same seat. You should withdraw them and apologize to the other aspirants.”
At the same time, those sentiments did not go well with the people at Kasarani stadium as they chose not to clap at the deputy president after making them. The mood clearly changed since Ruto was diverting from the topic of the day.
In the meantime, the leaders continued with their warning aimed at president Uhuru Kenyatta as they blamed him for making opposition leader Raila Odinga his project instead of making Ruto the project having promised him kumi yake sometimes back.
For instance, the Gatundu South member of parliament Moses Kuria vowed to campaign for the second in command with all his body, mind and soul until he captures the big seat. The leaders also assured president Uhuru Kenyatta’s allies that they will punish them if they capture power.
Specifically, Garissa town member of parliament Aden Duale made it clear that they will hand Baringo senator Gideon Moi because of the sins that were committed by his father the late president Daniel Torotich Arap Moi.
