Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni has launched yet another scathing attack on Deputy President William Ruto, dissuading Kenyans against voting in the DP as the country's next Head of State.
In a statement on Wednesday, May 4, Kioni claimed that Kenyans ought to brace themselves for tough times ahead as well as serial complaints should Kenya Kwanza win the forthcoming elections.
He added that the DP preferred cheap antics as opposed to solution-based leadership, which the country urgently and desperately needs.
“If this is the attitude Mr. Ruto would embody if elected as President, then woe unto Kenyans because they would have elected a serial complainer, trickster and manipulator who refuses to associate himself with solution-based leadership, preferring the easy path of idle complaints,” he stated.
The Jubilee SG called on Ruto to emulate former Vice President the Late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, who made the unpopular decision to resign from his post as the Second-in-Command in 1966.
According to Kioni, Ruto's resignation, would be vindication and at least seen as a bold move to sever ties with his President Uhuru Kenyatta and distance himself from the current government.
"It is not yet late for Mr. Ruto to do the right thing. Let him follow in the footsteps of an honourable man Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and resign rather than waste the taxpayers' sacrifice earning a sumptuous salary, allowances and perks of high office while mocking the poor with a narrative that paints himself as a hustler,” he noted.
The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance coalition has been mounting pressure on Ruto to quit government and to stop associating himself with the achievements of the current administration for being a thorn in the flesh of the President.
“We have had enough of your doublespeak and demand that you resign and join the opposition officially as you await defeat in August," ODM's SG Edwin Sifuna recently stated.
The Kenya Kwanza regime has, however, defended their flag-bearer, faulting the Head of State for handing over the DP's duties to other politicians who failed in carrying out the mandate.
Uhuru and Ruto have continued to engage in public spats ever since the signing of a working pact famously known as the handshake in March 2018 that saw Odinga, partly join government.
