Ruto Goes Ballistic on Jubilee Leaders Working With Raila

Deputy President William Ruto lashed out at leaders from his party whom, he accused of working with opposition chief Raila Odinga in a fight against development. 

Daily Nation reported that the DP sounded a warning to his Jubilee Party members when he attended a harambee at Meru National Polytechnic on Friday, October 4. 

Ruto went on a rant when he spoke after being snubbed by Governor Kiraitu Murungi and his deputy Titus Ntuchiu in an earlier event.

"Kenya cannot be run by tales but development. I have come to Meru several times and I will keep coming until I streamline the issues affecting this county.

“As Jubilee leaders, we were elected on the promise of delivering development and all of us must do that. The rest have nothing much to do but to make noise," Ruto stated in a veiled attack to Jubilee leaders backing Raila.

Ruto, during the burial of Senator Mithika Linturi's father on  September 17 in Meru County, affirmed that Jubilee was in shambles after Odinga infiltrated it with the famous March 2018 handshake.

On Saturday, September 28, he responded to Gender CAS Rachel Shebesh's scathing attack on Mariga, the ruling party's flagbearer for the upcoming Kibra mini poll. 

Using his Twitter account, the DP urged all Jubilee supporters to ignore calls by those he deemed not fit to speak for the party bosses. 

"All Jubilee party supporters should ignore and treat with utter contempt rebels and those rejected by the electorate who now deceptively purport to speak for the party leadership.

Shebesh declared her support for ODM's Imran Okoth, as did Jubilee nominated MP Maina Kamanda.

On September 21, female MPs allied to DP Ruto leaders, while speaking at Moi Stadium in Voi, Taita Taveta County, demanded that Kamanda be expelled for endorsing ODM's candidate for in the Kibra by-election.
