Deputy President William Ruto on Saturday weighed-in on his approach towards the 2022 politics and the battle to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Speaking during a fundraiser at Naikarra Boarding Primary School in Narok West, the DP indicated that he will stick to the agenda of uniting and delivering development and let the people decide his fate when the time comes.
Ruto told off critics dispelling growing concerns that he has launched early campaigns for the 2022 election with his frequent tours across the country.

"There is an attempt to try and undermine the track record of Jubilee. Let the politicians continue spreading propaganda but in the end, they know their destiny
"We will meet with them on the judgement day (2022 elections) and the electorate will decide who is a performer and who is a propagandist," he quipped.
Previous remarks by the President in which he referred to Ruto's trips as "kutangatanga" were seen as an expression of his discomfort with his deputy's conduct.
Ruto, however, reassured Kenyans that "As top Jubilee leadership we are firm, decided and resolved in ensuring that our flagship projects such as the Standard Gauge Railway, roads, health services, water and education through the Big Four Agenda remain uninterrupted."
He further iterated that the government has demonstrated a commendable performance record that cannot be tarnished by naysayers.
"I hear some people talking here and there but nothing will stop us from doing what is right. We shall defend our track record by all means and will ensure that no one derails it," he stated.

Steering from dwelling on his ambitions, the DP concluded that "Kenyans are very bright people. When that time comes, we shall come and talk; but as for now, I leave 2022 to God."
