William Ruto’s high octane interview on Citizen TV has continued to elicit different reactions from the political class.

on Tuesday, during an interview with Hussein Mohammed, Ruto sensationally claimed that Raila approached him more than four times to broker a deal after the 2017 elections.

“Before Raila Odinga engaged President Uhuru Kenyatta on the handshake, he engaged me. Raila Odinga approached me on four occasions to have a discussion and I declined to engage him for two reasons,” Ruto said.

The DP said that the former Prime Minister wanted to create a rift between him and President Uhuru Kenyatta, telling him that he (Ruto) would be shortchanged in the appointment of Ministers.

Ruto said that he refused to engage the former Prime Minister because he knew he was not doing it in good faith.

“I knew that the narrative was about to try and say that I was being shortchanged here and there, which to me is a fake thing,” said Ruto.

But the Raila family has come and refuted these claims, saying that in fact it is Ruto who wanted to use his influence to divide the family.

According to Raila Junior, the DP approached him and his sister Winnie, with high level government appointments so they could betray their dad.

The truth is that in January 2018 Arap Mashamba tried to entice @winnie_odinga and I with high level government positions, a kind of divide n rule tactic using a very senior Ambasador to put pressure but obviously we told him to F off and talk to the source. #WakiropokaTunatoboa https://t.co/O6UaJQL72Z— Raila Junior Odinga (@Railajunior) April 10, 2019

Junior says Ruto sent an Ambassador to broker the deal in January 2018, a few months before the handshake. But they told the DP to fuck off.

This new development will surely put a lot of pressure on the relationship between Raila and Ruto political camps.

Winnie Odinga, has always maintained that she works for her dad.

 “I have worked for him for as long as I can remember. I’m his bodyguard, his briefcase carrier, travel companion or even driver if need be.” She told a local daily in a previous interview.

It would have been impossible for Ruto to separate them.
