Deputy President William Ruto has today issued a scathing verbal attack against their Kenya Kwanza Coalition opponents, Azimio La Umoja outfit calling them an amalgamation of conmen.
He Kenyans to reject saying this would help end dishonest politics in the country.
Ruto (UDA) alongside Musalia Mudavadi (ANC) and Moses Wetangula of Ford Kenya are leading the Kenya Kwanza brigade against Azimio La Umoja team led by outfit’s presidential flagbearer Raila Odinga who is being supported by President Uhuru Kenyatta and One Kenya Alliance Coalition led by Kalonzo Musyoka.
“Odinga asked Musyoka to support him one last time, promising to return the favour to him by supporting his 2022 bid. That was a lie.” Ruto said today during his expansive political tour within the Ukambani region.
Ruto regretted that Opposition Leader Raila Odinga thrives on the politics of deceit.
While crosscrossing Kitui and Makueni counties, Ruto urged Ukambani residents not to fall for Odinga’s lies.
He faulted the ODM chief for deceiving Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka that he would support his candidature this year.
The Deputy President asked Ukambani residents to join the hustler nation, promising to sign an economic charter that addresses their challenges.
“This time round let us work together and form the next government.” He added.
Going by his Hustler Nation mantra rallying call, Ruto said his movement is the only political formation with a people-centred agenda.
Those in Azimio La Umoja Coalition, he said, are only focused on changing the constitution to create positions for leaders as opposed to the unemployed youth.
“This is not a constitutional moment, this is an economic moment. Our priority is to fix the economy so that we can create jobs and opportunities for Kenyans,” said Ruto.
He was accompanied by Makueni Deputy Governor Adelina Mwau, MPs Victor Munyaka (Machakos Town), Vincent Musyoka (Mwala), Nimrod Mbai (Kitui East), Kithure Kindiki (Tharaka Nithi), UDA Chairman Johnson Muthama and Kitui Gubernatorial Aspirant Jonathan Mueke.
Munyaka asked Ukambani residents to ditch the opposition for Kenya Kwanza Alliance that has a better chance of forming the next government.
“President Uhuru Kenyatta is deceiving us, all MPs in Kiambu are in Hustler Nation, including his home MP, senator and woman rep.” Munyaka asserted.
