DP Ruto allies lecture Uhuru on Jubilee loyalty pledge

The Deputy President William Ruto and his allies have decided to lecture President Uhuru Kenyatta on the loyalty pledge he made with Jubilee party.

The whole tangatanga team decided to attack the President on his unwavering stand on DP Ruto’s political quest to succeed him come 2022.

In an apparent case of a script well-rehearsed, speaker after speaker including the MPs reminded the President that he must respect the pledge he made to Kenyans ahead of the August 2017 General Election.

They said that the President’s rallying call to Kenyans that they give him 10 years and his deputy 10 years after his term ends in 2022, should not be wished away.

Those who accompanied the DP included: Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu and MPs Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu), ODM rebel Aisha Jumwa (Malindi), John Kiarie (Dagoretti South), Patrick Wainaina (Thika Town), Benjamin Gathiru (Embakasi Central), Charles Njagua (Starehe), Kimani Ngunjiri (Bahati) and Jeremiah Kioni (Ndaragua).

Mr Waititu rallied his Mt Kenya backyard to support Mr Ruto, saying were it not for the DP, Mr Kenyatta would never have made it to the presidency.

“The 10-year agreement must be followed. We do not want to be called conmen,” Mr Waititu said.

“The only handshake that we know of is that of 2013 when the President and his deputy embraced each other at Jevanjee Gardens. The other one is not genuine,” Mr Ngunjiri said in reference to President Kenyatta’s embrace of Mr Odinga on March 9, 2018 at the stairs of his Harambee House office.​
