I Was Misquoted, Ruto Now Says Over His ‘Luo Hate Remarks’

DP William Ruto has distanced himself from the video doing rounds on social media,which  captured him spewing hate remarks  and profiling  the Luo community,saying the video has been misinterpreted and the remarks he made in the video have been blown out of proportion.

”Kwani hawa watu wana tuambia saa hii stori mingi hatuwajui, si tunawajua?. Ni watu ya kubomoa, kama hawa bomoi chama, wana bomoa  nyumba, kama hawa bomoi nyumba wana ngoa reli, kama hawa ngoi reli, wana tenganisha marafiki….. sasa hii watu ambao tuna waelewa we are entertaining them for what purpose,” he said in the 30 second clip.

This is loosely translated to,”This loosely translates to, “Those people bringing us many stories now we know them. We know they are destructors, if they are not destroying political parties they are destroying houses, If not houses they are uprooting railway lines, if not railway lines they are separating friends…….. We know them, we are entertaining them for what purpose….”

Here is the video;

”We expect more sober and responsible interpretation and analysis of events and issues. The propagators of the anti-Ruto spin are blinded with desperation to the point that they cannot realise that they are the ones profiling a whole community.Unless you’re telling me being Luo is equivalent to uprooting the railway, something I totally disagree with,” Ruto said in a statement.
