The man from Sugoi was reacting to the recent allegations by IPSOS Synovate that he is the most corrupt Kenyans in history.
The report indicates that 33 per cent of Kenyans rank the deputy president as the most corrupt followed by Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru at 31 per cent. The research was conducted in 45 counties with a representation of about 2,000 households.
But Ruto has vehemently rebuked the report saying it has been sponsored by his detractors.
“The opinion was paid for by the political detractors of the DP who think this will help their course to the presidency. The findings are part of the political scheme by the usual failures because how do you measure perception?” Mr Ruto’s spokesman and Director of Communications at his office David Mugonyi said.
He added: “The so-called survey used data that is too politically correlated to be meaningful. At a time when people are so desperate that they want to amend the Constitution to bar the DP from running for the presidency, it should not shock anyone that a survey like this would be concocted.”
