Deputy president William Samoei Ruto seems to be mad at the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga for copying his handout economic model.
From the video in possession of Sonko News, the second in command took a swipe at the ODM leader for his 6,000 monthly economic stimulus package that he has promised unemployed youths if he succeeds president Uhuru Kenyatta.
Known for his philanthropic nature, the deputy president has not only been issuing handouts to the public but has also promised to directly give youths and women millions of money if he is elected as the president.
“At this time and age, anybody telling us the language of government working on a handout program to give small money to people is an insult to the people of Kenya and to the young people of our nation.” Said DP Ruto.
However, it was not clear what the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party leader meant since he had been dishing handouts publicly in so many occasions.
Just recently, Mr. Ruto was captured in a camera dishing out handouts in public and even promised to raise the amount further if he becomes president.
“Nataka niwaongezie pesa ya kuongeza stock lakini mumeskia vile nimesema? Nimesema wacha hi pesa nawapatia nyinyi hi kidogo. Mwaka ujao mimi naweka pesa ya serikali billioni hamsini ya kusaidia hawa wafanyibiashara kidogokidogo wafanye biashara yao bila ya kusumbuliwa na wale watu wa kukopesha pesa amabyao haiwezi kulipwa,
Mimi nataka nimpatie uyu mama wenu hapa, niko hapa na shilingi millioni moja ya hawa watu.
