National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has slammed Deputy President William Ruto branding him as the worst mistake the country can make by electing him as President next year.
While addressing his supporters on Sunday, December 5, the speaker claimed that the Ruto was a master in pretending in order to get votes.
He further revealed that his latest interaction with the DP revealed his true self as a selfish man.
"Today, he approaches you, enticing you as he jokes with you, but when he will win the Presidency and you happen to knock at his door.
"You will be told wait there please. It is me who went directly to the people so you as MP, what are you telling me?" stated Muturi in his ethnic Meru language speech.
He further cautioned politicians from folding their parties in order to follow DP Ruto in his United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.
He cautioned that what befell Jubilee Party in the last term of it's government would also affect the party should they fold.
"Let us have coalitions because they have been seen to be stable.
"Even now, I hear you guys say you have come up with a national party. I have not pointed at you. It is the finger that has erred because there is no angel there, all of us are politicians," he added.
This comes even as DP Ruto intensifies his countrywide campaigns, especially in Mt Kenya, as he seeks to woo the vote-rich region in his quest to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022.
Reports have emerged claiming that the DP has set his eyes on Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua as his possible running mate ahead of the elections set for August.
While addressing Nyeri residents during his tour to the region on December 4, Ruto asked the residents to allow Gachagua to accompany him in the State House race.
The DP went ahead to request the residents to protect the legislator’s seat even as they partner with the billionaire MP in his first stab at the presidency.
