The deputy president of the republic Dr William Ruto has declared that he will retire from active politics ten years from now when his political time lapses.
He was speaking at the Kitale ASK Showground during a retirement ceremony for Pentecostal Evangelistic Fellowship of Africa Bishop Samuel Thiongo.
In a statement largely believed to have been aimed at former vice president Kalonzo Musyoka, William Ruto said that politicians should resist all urges to overstay in power because there is life after politics.
Kalonzo was earlier quoted saying that Kenyans should give president Uhuru Kenyatta the chance to serve a third term saying that he is the best president Kenya has ever had. He later denied saying anything close to that like the real watermelon he is.
Dr William Ruto announced his intentions to mentor the youth to take over from him in ten years saying he has learned a lot of things in the political scene.
The deputy president favors a constitutional change that will allow for a president that serves a one seven year term.
