Deputy President William Ruto on Sunday morning, July 11, accused ODM Leader Raila Odinga and the NASA coalition of nagging President Uhuru Kenyatta with frequent demands for their inhouse squabbling.
Speaking in a church service at Huruma, Nairobi, Ruto criticised NASA coalition co-principals asking them to stop disturbing the President and unite themselves.
He warned the opposing camp that if they continued disagreeing without a plan, then his team was ready to occupy the house on the hill in the next 12 months.
“They are all greedy and fighting for their own benefits. Some are talking of bullets as others are crying over money. The president was elected to serve all Kenyans, not five, six people,” Ruto stated.
The country’s second in command further stated that the opposing camp started by bothering the President with constitutional amendments but when it hit a dead end, now they want him to arrange them for elections.
The DP also expressed his confidence in how he would win the elections if NASA relations remains unstable.
He also defended why he attends church with donations, saying he wouldn’t have been where he is were it not for God.
“Why do you have a problem when we go to church? Some of us have no godfathers apart from God,” he added.
ODM leader Raila Odinga is on record, without mentioning names and linking some of the church donations made by politicians to graft.
According to the former premier, donations made in the church are often the proceeds of corruption.
Ruto’s remarks were inspired by the recent fallout in NASA, that saw Kalonzo blame co-principals for not sharing funds equally adding he will not support Odinga a third time.
The spat has seen NASA principals scramble for the president’s attention, in what political experts term as ‘seeking endorsements’.
However, in a recent interview with Citizen TV, Odinga hinted at a possible super alliance, similar to the NARC in 2002 that saw Kibaki become president, putting an end to the 24-year KANU regime.
The DP had also suggested that the country was stuck as a result of the few men (NASA co-principals).
His sentiments come in the wake of NASA principals being embroiled in a public spat, making accusations against each other.
