The Orange Democratic Party (ODM) has exposed Deputy President William Ruto alleging that he lied to Kenyans on circumstances that made him exit their Party. In a tweet shared on their Official handle, the ODM party stated that at no point did they summon DP Ruto to appear before its Disciplinary Committee. “There is no single day or time that the ODM Party summoned Hon. William Ruto to appear before any of its committees including the Disciplinary Committee as he claims. He was a NEC Member but abdicated his role in the in the party voluntarily to advance his interests elsewhere” shared ODM Party.
“Kicked out”
On Sunday, while in Mombasa Ruto accused the former Prime Minister of having intentions of kicking him out of Jubilee, the same way he kicked him out of ODM.
“I was in ODM and they kicked me out and they took me to court, the same way they have summoned MPs Aisha Jumwa (Malindi) and Suleiman Dori (Msambweni). I want to tell you that you cannot kick me out of ODM, then follow me to Jubilee and attempt to do the same,” the DP stated.
Ruto who was on a tour of the Coast region further said Mr. Odinga was using the March 9 handshake to bring conmanship, confusion and hypocrisy into the Jubilee administration.

Handshake
In another tweet, ODM made it clear to the DP that Odinga was not a member of Jubilee and he had no stake in the ruling party. The party further stated that the handshake between the former premier and Kenyatta was solely based on issues that affect Kenyans on a day to day basis and not even his political lies would stop it.
The Party Leader @RailaOdinga has never been interested in meddling in Jubilee party affairs. He has never even dreamed of becoming a Member of that party. However, his resolve to work with its leader @UKenyatta to fix the country & unite the people of Kenya is unstoppable. pic.twitter.com/szRZUSMrRR
