Opposition lawyer James Orengo is the latest politician to drive the nail into Ruto’s political coffin during KTN show hosted by Tonny Gachoka.

“Tonny, let me state this, Ruto has nothing to lose in the Jubilee administration as far his reputation is concerned, its Uhuru who is writing his history, Ruto will vie comes 2022 and by then Ujuru won’t be a factor, we recall Kibaki because of what he did,we don’t remember what his deputy did,”Orengo said.
The recent reshuffle has generated a lot of political debate, especially within the Jubilee party as section of the politicians from rift valley accusing Uhuru of witch-hunting.
Kapsabet MP Oscar Sudi has already requested the head of state to resign or dissolve the government.
Sudi a close ally to the DP argues that the opposition leader Raila Odinga is misusing the handshake to attack William Ruto who has already declared interest for 2022 presidency.
I think it's time people like Jim Orengo understood that they must NOT be consulted for something good to happen in this country .
We can think by ourselves .— SoftwareMomanyi (@charowk) July 25, 2019
Orengo had made it clear during the show that the relationship between the DP and Uhuru isn’t cordial as it used to during 2017 campaign.
“The government is dysfunctional at this time since the head of state stood strong on the fight against corruption,” Orengo stated.
I thought you were mature in politics but now it's contrary to my expectations .You couldn't admit it by such lame lamentations against @ Orengo james stand on the so called punguza mizigo.Question: Are you really able to campaign for this bill without feelings?

Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has also taken a swipe to Oscar Sudi over his careless remarks to the head of state.
Kuria took the message to his Facebook account where he has warned the Kapseret MP against dragging his name alongside his opinions on the current state of the country stating that his battles are silently being fought in court as well as expecting no help because he gives none.
James Orengo said that corruption is budgeted and financed at the national treasury….I won't say I am surprised. This is Kenya. #orengo

To Oscar Kipchumba Sudi. Do not drag me into your stupidity. I fight my battles in courts silently and with deference to the rule of law and the supremacy of the constitution. No one helps me and I do not expect anyone to expect my help. The Matters you refer to are now subject of the court and so clearly your comments are sub-judice. Let me give you unsolicited advice. Your comments make many people to wonder how you would behave if you are allowed 50 kilometres radius from a future State House.
