Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has questioned Deputy President William Ruto’s temperament after his Laikipia outburst on Tuesday, December 7.
In a social media post, Ngunyi asked whether the Deputy President is fit to hold the presidential seat if he can not control his temperament.
This is after Ruto was captured on camera lecturing men who heckled him at a rally in Laikipia.
Now, the political analyst argues that a presidential candidate ought not to portray such temperaments.
“Anger: Ruto booed in Laikipia. Then he tells kikuyu youth opposed to him to “Stop being stupid”. He also called Kiraitu stupid. If your opponent is a man of choleric temper, irritate him and his true colours will show. The hyena is showing its spots. Or am I wrong?” Mutahi Ngunyi posed.
In the Laikipia outbursts, William Ruto openly lectured hecklers at his rally, asking them to organize their own and stop disrupting him.
“Plan your own meeting, stop this stupidity…I will not accept it. You have come to heckle us here? Listen to me, if you do not want orderliness…please don’t come to heckle in my meeting. Everyone should organize his own meeting… this is mine,” William Ruto said amid commotion from the crowd.
This is not the first time William Ruto has been termed as an angry person.
On August 3, Amani National Congress Party leader termed William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga as angry people who should not be allowed near the reigns of power.
“Na ukweli ni kwamba ukiangalia uso wa Ruto hasira, ukiona uso wa Raila hasira, you see anger you see bitterness, ukweli ama uongo? (The truth is that if you look at Ruto and Raila’s faces, you see anger, bitterness, true or false?) Mudavadi posed.
He argued that he(Mudavadi) is not an angry person, hence in a better position to lead.
