Deputy President William Samoei Ruto has asked Azimio la Umoja Movement to keep off matters of the government.
The DP who was speaking in Kajiado county on Tuesday told the former opposition team that the government was only formed by him and president Uhuru Kenyatta and therefore they have no say about it.
“I heard those who are competing with us trying to correct me. I want to tell my brothers who were in the opposition and now they are confused about their stand that this 10 year-government was formed by Uhuru Kenyatta and me. I am asking you to stop talking about government issues because you know nothing about them,” DP Ruto said.
He went ahead and mentioned some of the development projects that the Jubilee government has achieved in the close to 10 years of governance.
“With the government that we formed with Uhuru Kenyatta, we have constructed a railway that is 700 km long, roads 10,000km, we have supplied power to 8.5 million people, we have developed 170 TTIs.
“For all that work, the credit should come to us since Uhuru Kenyatta is going home and we are the ones who were there when the work was being done. You should look for the credit of the opposition,” the second in command said.
Ruto claimed that the Azimio team would not be able to form the government since they were unable to run the opposition.
“They want to compete with us in forming the government, the question is, if they were unable to run the opposition, can they really form a government?” he posed.
He doubted whether the team will be able to fight corruption because the members themselves are corrupt.
“My friends, you ran away from the responsibility of the oversight in the opposition. You came to support impunity. You created a laundry to dry clean those who are corrupt in government. You came and participated in looting and corruption. you even stole from Kemsa then you want to tell us that you want to discuss about government. If you have failed in opposition, you can never have a chance to form any government,” the DP insisted.
