The political audience has truly been served a good one after one of the most intriguing political interview go down.
On Monday, Deputy President William Ruto appeared on BBC’s HARDtalk show hosted by Stephen Sackur.
During the interview, the DP got into a heated argument with the host when pressed to reveal his net worth.
“Why have you not followed the President’s instruction in what he calls a lifestyle audit to actually go public with all your wealth and assets, itemise all of it and show it to the Kenyan public. You haven’t done it, have you?” posed Sackur.
The question of Mr Ruto being perceived as one of the most corrupt Kenyan politicians was also floated, but the DP answered that the Ipsos survey also named President Uhuru Kenyatta, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and “largely, all the political leaders that exist today in Kenya”.
Mr Ruto said the issue of corruption in Kenya has been politicised and that is why politicians are mostly the ones linked to graft by the public.
But his interviewer interjected, saying the Ipsos survey reveals that Kenyans do not trust their leaders on their promises to fight corruption.
His Weston land saga was also in play where he surprisingly admitted the land was acquired illegally termining it an innocent purchase.
How do you find Ruto’s responses to the questions?
