Deputy President should better read in between the line. Those trying to comfort him are maybe his enemies that those who hit him hard on the face.
Kikuyu Council of Elders has not declared its support for anyone for the presidency in 2022, the group declared on Monday.
“We as the Kikuyu Council of Elders have never sat down with anyone and came up with a preferred candidate. But what we are saying here is that every Kenyan has a right to vie for the presidency,” he said.
The council’s chairman Wachira Kiago said the elders will instead visit all other community elders countrywide for consultation.
This, he said at Kabiruini ASK showground in Nyeri town, will enable them come up with the best candidate for the country.
This comes after Jubilee Party vice- chairman David Murathe said there is no MoU with Deputy President William Ruto, and that he should retire with the President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022. This has triggered debate and disagreements among Jubilee Party members.
The elders, however, said it is too early to engage in 2022 campaigns, and called on politicians to first serve Kenyans before engaging in succession politics.
Kiago said too much politics at this time will only divide Kenyans.
What do you think on their sentiments on Deputy President William Ruto ambition to replace President Uhuru?
