Raila Odinga’s party Orange Democratic Party (ODM) has called out on Deputy President William Ruto for what they claimed to be a lie told by the DP to Kenyans on why he exit their party .
In a tweet shared on their twitter handle the ODM said,“There is no single day or time that the ODM Party summoned Hon. William Ruto to appear before any of its committees including the Disciplinary Committee as he claims. He was a NEC Member but abdicated his role in the in the party voluntarily to advance his interests elsewhere”

Ruto had earlier accused Raiola Odinga of having motives to kick him out of his current party Jubilee, the same way he kicked him out of ODM.
In his statement he said, “I was in ODM and they kicked me out and they took me to court, the same way they have summoned MPs Aisha Jumwa (Malindi) and Suleiman Dori (Msambweni). I want to tell you that you cannot kick me out of ODM, then follow me to Jubilee and attempt to do the same.”
He further stated that Raila Odinga was using the famous celebrated March 9th handshake between him and President Uhuru Kenyatta to bring what he termed as conmanship, confusion and hypocrisy into the Jubilee administration.
The ODM party further made it clear to the DP that Odinga was not a member of Jubilee and he had no stake in the ruling party.
The Party Leader @RailaOdinga has never been interested in meddling in Jubilee party affairs. He has never even dreamed of becoming a Member of that party. However, his resolve to work with its leader @UKenyatta to fix the country & unite the people of Kenya is unstoppable. pic.twitter.com/szRZUSMrRR

The party further stated that the handshake between the former premier and Kenyatta was solely based on issues that affect Kenyans on a day to day basis and not even his political lies would stop it.

The party further continued to tell off Ruto in series of tweets saying
When you put the country in campaign mood all the time and dupe Kenyans with non existent projects, then you become the biggest CONMAN.

We welcome brother William Samoei Arap Ruto, the former Deputy Party Leader to produce a copy of the show cause letter he says he received from the party for purposes of clarity. We seem not to have it… Kindly let him help us get a copy. Thank you.

In the meantime we are not ready to engage in infantile, trifle and puerile politics being perpetuated by a people who have developed hate for Peace, Love & Unity of Kenyans. ODM Leader @RailaOdinga will continue to work with @UKenyatta to Unite Kenyans & restoration of Peace.
