Former TNA Secretary-General Onyango Oloo has compared Deputy President William Ruto’s behaviour regarding the referendum to that of a scavenger bird.
He recalled how the DP had been vocal about rejecting the current Constitution, back in 2010.
Despite his strong opposition, Ruto became one of the first beneficiaries of the newly passed law, earning himself a position as second in command in Kenya.
To date, he’s the second senior most leader in the country, courtesy of a document he so viciously and vigorously fought, that is in my view, quite characteristic of scavengers in the wild,” he protested.
The former TNA official turned Kisumu County Speaker, attributed his comments to how Ruto was enjoying fruits from the efforts that other people made to deliver the Constitution.
“We have the hunters, the lions, cheetahs, who work very hard to conquer prey and feed their families, but no sooner do they bring the food to the table, than the scavengers, surround and chase them away from the carcass. To me that is typical Ruto,” he emphasised.
Oloo also accused him of changing tune due to the realisation that Kenyans were hellbent on revising the law.
“Having realised that the mood in the country has left him behind, William Samoei Ruto, the vulture, has now decided to take lead on this very carcass that he scorned the hunters for,” he added.
The DP made a u-turn on his stand on the proposed referendum by explaining that he will support it to ease the burden on Kenyans.
“We have no problem with the referendum. Our problem is hypocrisy and conman-ship, to tell us the referendum was agreed during the handshake, you are lying to us,” Ruto announced.
