Martha Karua says William Ruto is politically immature to be president

by Enock Ndayala

Deputy President William Ruto will be making his first stab at the presidency in the hotly anticipated August 9, 2022, General Election.

He will be facing off with Raila Odinga of the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition party who will be giving his fifth and probably his last attempt at the presidency considering his advancing age.

Last week, the UDA presidential flag bearer admitted that he almost slapped President Uhuru Kenyatta but managed to restrain himself from unleashing his anger on his boss.

Speaking during a meeting in Kakamega on Friday, July 8, Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition party presidential running mate Martha Karua said Ruto’s confirmation that he almost slapped his boss shows that he is politically immature to be President.

The iron lady said that the country will not be in safe hands under a Ruto presidency and that he needs more time to mature politically as well as learn to manage his temper.

While drumming up support for Raila Odinga’s presidential bid, the Narc Kenya party leader said the country needs someone who is mature politically to succeed retiring President Uhuru.

“It is dangerous to vote for someone who is angry. Let’s give him space to calm down and maybe we will consider supporting him for the presidency later. The country currently needs someone who is mature politically and that is Raila Amollo Odinga,” Karua said.

Karua’s sentiments come barely days after the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party Secretary General Edwin Sifuna said he would go to exile if the former Eldoret North MP William Ruto wins the presidency.

Sifuna, who is eying the Nairobi senatorial seat in the August 9, elections, said that the deputy president is too temperamental to be president.

“This man is very dangerous if he takes power. I promise you if Ruto becomes president, I Sifuna will have to hide in a foreign country because of his anger,” Sifuna said.
