The Deputy President William Ruto has come out to prove that he is beyond what people think of him. Although many people have questioned the first love that was their between President Uhuru and his Deputy Ruto, he has overlooked that to come in defense of his boss.
Late last evening, Ruto in a tactical move threw his weight behind Uhuru reiterating that development projects must be rolled out equitably across the country.
In a series of tweets, Ruto asked disaffected leaders to use appropriate channels to address their concerns instead of resorting to moves that undermine Uhuru and the Jubilee leadership.
“Projects promised for decades became a reality under Jubilee many Kenyans especially Jubilee members understandably are asking us for more. This must be tempered with the reality of what we can afford. No region, community or Kenyan will be left behind now or in future,”he stated.

He went on: “Jubilee members must however use appropriate mechanism to channel matters concerning us and avoid unnecessary negative debate that only undermine the party , the party leadership and the President.”
The DP listed the Standard Gauge Railway, 7000km tarmac roads, NHIF reforms, 4.6 million additional electricity and 160 New TIVETs as among Jubilee’s major achievements.
This was enough to show how mature the Deputy President is. Most people thought he would join the army to criticize the President. But he acted in a different way that is seemingly a step that will calm down the on going political heat bubbling in the country.
