DP Ruto ally offers to school Uhuru on Raila’s antics

A visibly fired-up President tore into critics of the handshake and termed as “pettiness” the claims that the truce with Raila was a political machination aimed at 2022.

“Oh oh, Raila anavunja Jubilee” (Oh oh, Raila is breaking up Jubilee) … which Jubilee have we talked about? Oh, Uhuru anaingilia mambo ya ODM (Oh, Uhuru is meddling in ODM affairs.) Me, I have no clue even who ODM is,” Uhuru said.

This sentiments have not been well received by Tangatanga team led by the Deputy President William Ruto.

Yesterday, Ruto’s allies hit back at Uhuru accusing him of pretending that he does not know about what they claimed is ‘Raila’s history of deception’.

“It would appear the President has forgotten the person Raila is. He has forgotten who Raila is. If the President has forgotten we are going to remind him who Raila is some time,” charged Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi, a fierce defender of the DP.

The Presidents’s statement was a vote of confidence in the handshake, which some of Ruto’s allies have termed the “worst political fraud” in Kenya.

Last week in a televised interview, Ruto openly expressed his disdain for the deal and accused Raila of scheming to decimate Jubilee ‘as he did to Kanu in 2002’.

“I was in Kanu when Raila broke it. If Raila comes for me in Jubilee where I am Deputy Party leader, I will stop him,” Ruto pledged.

Yesterday, Kimilili MP Didmas Barasa warned Uhuru against continuing to court a politician who has demonstrated contempt for his principal assistant.

The strings of attacks continue as President Uhuru continues to embrace Hon Raila Odinga.

Do you think the handshake team will eventually silence team Tangatanga?
