Deputy President (DP) William Ruto on Sunday hinted at an intensive 2022 presidential campaign. Speaking during a church service at Catholic Christ the King in Bungoma on Sunday, Ruto indicated that his current trips across the country will be nothing compared to his campaign.

“I’m yet to start my campaigns because when I start they will be in for a rude shock. “People should stop panicking about my traversing the country saying it is 2022 campaigns,” he stated in reference to his political opponents.
He further told those criticising him for crisscrossing the country that it was part of his mandate as the DP. “I am asking my fellow Kenyans to stop panicking about Kenyan politics as it is only God who plans for tomorrow and not any human being,” Ruto added.
The DP further noted that elected leaders have promises to their electorates which they need to fulfil rallying them to unite and deliver regardless of their political affiliation. “We should unite and change the livelihood of our people and not to politic all the time,” he indicated.

As part of Jubilee’s Big Four Agenda, Ruto remarked that the government would construct 3000 houses in Bungoma alone. During the fundraiser, Ruto gave a Ksh2 million contribution and another Ksh1 million from President Uhuru Kenyatta.
DP William Ruto has appealed to Kenyans not to politicise war on graft, also asked institutions mandated to fight corruption to be objective and avoid being used to settle political scores. https://t.co/dfpfAHrXuX
