Deputy president William Samoei Ruto has said that president Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga have no ability to plan for him.
While speaking in Vihiga county, William Ruto castigated president Uhuru Kenyatta for deciding to support the opposition leader Raila Odinga as opposed to him after promising him kumi zake.
“Mimi kama rais Uhuru ndio hana uwezo wa kunipanga sasa Raila ndio atanipanga?’ Asked Ruto.
On his side, Bungoma senator Moses Wetangula took a swipe at Raila Odinga as he urged Vihiga residents not to back him but instead back deputy president William Ruto.
According to Wetangula, Luhyas had carried Raila on his shoulders for so long and it was time they carried the UDA party leader William Ruto this time round.
Wetangula repeated his earlier sentiments on Saturday February 05. While speaking during the Kenya Kwanza political rally at the coast in Mtwapa, Wetangula said that Raila is such a difficult load to push.
“Sisi tulikuwa na ndugu yetu Raila 2013 kama Cord, 2017 kama NASA tukaja hapa Musalia akisema nasa hawa. Sisi tunasema nasa hawa kumbe Uhuru na Ruto wanapitia kando wananasa Raila mwenyewe mpaka sasa mambo yakachanganyikiwa. (We were with our brother Raila in 2013 as cord, 2017 as Nasa, we were busy saying Nasa only for Uhuru and Ruto to defeat Raila)
“Nataka kuwaambia huyo mzee ni mzigo kusukuma ndio maana sisi tumeamua Kuungana na ndugu zetu wa UDA na hustlers kurudi hapa chini kusaidia mwananchi ainuke ile model ya bottom up, lazima tuinue wa chini. Hata wewe ukiwa mama pima, ndoto yako ni kusomesha mtoto wako akuwe engineer, daktari, lawyer..(I want to tell you that Raila is a heavy load and that’s why we have united with UDA and hustlers to help those who are at the bottom),” Wetangula said.
Those sentiments were also echoed by the Amani national Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi who equally discouraged Luhyas from voting Raila since Ruto was their new choice for the community.
The two leaders further condemned the opposition leader for the poor development in the region instead of blaming William Ruto since he is the one in government with president Uhuru Kenyatta.
