Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu has blasted Deputy President William Ruto for continuously claiming that he made Uhuru the president.
Taking to her Twitter handle on Monday, March 21, Ngilu said Ruto should be thankful that President Uhuru gave him a job as his running mate instead of insulting him.
According to the Kitui governor, President Uhuru contributed more votes compared to DP Ruto during their union under Jubilee.
Ngilu who is one of the strong supporters of the ODM leader Raila Odinga opined that President Uhuru contributed more resources during Jubilee campaigns than DP Ruto.
“William Ruto chest thumbs how he made Uhuru President, in what sense.? Who’s votes were more? his or Uhuru’s? Who’s campaigning resources were more? His or Uhuru’s?” Ngilu posed.
“Uhuru gave Ruto employment, Ruto should be thanking the president not insulting him,” Ngilu stated.
Remarks by Ngilu come after DP Ruto sustain attacks on President Uhuru, for supporting the ODM leader in the forthcoming August elections.
Speaking last month in Nyeri DP Ruto blasted President Uhuru for chasing him and his allies from Jubilee yet they made him the president.
” Even if they are calling us conmen, I want to tell them to have some respect. Have some respect, it is us who made Uhuru President, so respect us” the second in command said.
Speaking in Thika on March 12, DP Ruto wondered why the head of state would leave him for Raila Odinga yet he campaigned for him thrice.
“You chased us out of parliamentary committees, called us names such as tanga tanga and thieves, but I want to remind you that we are the ones who stood by you both during the 2013 and 2017 elections,” DP Ruto said.
