The DP accused the President of threatening him and his team, claiming that the President should be a unifying figure rather than a divisive figure. “Stop engaging me, my friend; please push your candidate,” he added. Please, Mr. President, stop talking about me and start talking about your candidate. Tell us about Raila’s plans and leave William Ruto alone.”
President Uhuru Kenyatta has retaliated against his Deputy William Ruto, saying he has no intention of harming him, his family, or allies in response to the Deputy President’s allegations that their lives are in danger. Uhuru went on to say that he had endured insults for many years and that it was pointless to act against his opponents when leaving office with limited powers. “You’ve been insulting me for almost three years; has anyone touched you?” Did I not have the capability during my three years in office?
Do you think I have time to look for you now that I want to hand over the government and have limited powers?” He inquired. This action came after William Ruto claimed that Uhuru was threatening him and his allies. “”I am ready to face you in this election with your project as long as you do not kill my children,” Ruto said.
DP Ruto also stated that the threats will not derail his presidential bid, stating that the Head of State should concentrate on selling the candidacy of Azimio la Umoja One Kenya presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
