Deputy president William Ruto has claimed that his recent suffering and betrayal can be quantified to what Jesus went through.
Speaking at St Martin Catholic Church Karuri, Kiambaa, Kiambu County,the DP made reference to from Lukes 15:1-2 where he blamed the media of propagating hatred by writing fake stories.
Noting that nothing much seems to have changed over the last 2000 years, Ruto indicated that journalists and media have been distorting information since biblical times.
“Hawa watu wa magazeti… uliona mahali Father alisoma, alisema Mapharisayo na waandishi walileta kisirani (These media people… you heard the verse that the priest read. He talked about the Pharisees and scribes and how they have been an irritant),” the DP began.
“Mimi sikujua eti hii maneno ya waandishi si eti imeanza saa hii, ilikueko ata nyuma huko. Imeandikwa kwa biblia (I didn’t know that this thing about scribes didn’t start today, it dates back to the ancient times. It is written in the bible),” he added as the congregation burst out in laughter.
Also MP Oscar Sudi had blamed the media of propagating hatred and iunciting the public against the DP.
Sudi said that the DP will be the president no matter what has been said about him.
“I wonder where you guys get information from,no you are waiting to hear what i will say then you will twist it,”he said.
He further said that some powerful individuals are trying to frustrate Ruto’s presidency.
“If its God’s will,Ruto will be president and nothing will change that,’he said.
