DETAILS! How State House Operatives Tried to Block Ruto from National Prayer Breakfast

Deputy President Dr William Samoei was an angry man at the National Prayer Breakfast event at Safari Park hotel on Thursday.

But why? Someone must have intimidated the hustler earlier!

That is why he was angry at the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta. Did you hear him suggesting Raila’s donation to Britain?

“And because you have been good to us, your request for a Prime Minister, we have retired one in Kenya, and since the constitution has abolished the position of Prime Minister in Kenya, he may not have it any time soon, we will send you his CV for consideration,” Ruto said in response  to Michael Hastings, the key note speaker at the event.

It has emerged that the organizers of this year’s national prayer breakfast were not expecting Ruto in the event.

The omission of Ruto’s name from the official programme has not been taken lightly by two legislators from Rift Valley who interpreted it as an intentional move to embarrass their man.

The DP has of late been on the receiving end from a section of Jubilee Party members and opposition leaders, who have a closer working relationship with President Uhuru Kenyatta through the handshake.

One MP was overheard blaming the omission on the handshake politics and internal Jubilee wars that recently rocked the ruling outfit.

Learning of the omission, Ruto went on the offensive and rubbed almost everyone the wrong way.

But Raila was not the only one he went for.

In a message that appeared directed at President Uhuru Kenyatta, the DP stated that not all tycoons from humble beginnings should be construed to be thieves.

Ruto said that when Uhuru’s father – founding President Jomo Kenyatta — died in 1978, he was herding cattle barefoot in Kamagut village and thought Mzee’s demise was “the end of the world”.

However, 41 years later, he is dining with Kenyatta’s son, in a clear demonstration that he has earned his stripes to sit at the high table.

“In 1978, when our founding father passed on, I remember it very well because we were on school holiday. I was looking after my father’s cows, we had to take them home, we ran literally because, in my mind, I thought it was the end of the world.”
