Leaders in the Azimio la Umoja Movement have accused Deputy President William Ruto of being a dishonest leader by persistently peddling lies to the masses with the aim of taking credit for government programs that they claim he has been sabotaging.
Speaking in Siaya County during a whirlwind tour of the county today, the leaders led by the Deputy Party Leader of the ODM party Hassan Joho, the leaders accused Ruto of dishonesty and deceit saying he has no locus to stand to claim credit for what he never was part of.
They said Ruto has developed a bad habit of being disrespectful to the President by persistently engaging him in public and calling him names.
“Ruto is a bad man. He has no qualities of a leader. He thinks Presidency is his birthright, he must know there are men and women out there who can do better than him,” said Joho.
Joho who is also the Governor of Mombasa County told the Deputy President to desist from insulting and daring the head of state.
“If he cannot respect the President now, we are going to force him to do so,” he told a charged crowd at Siaya Stadium.
He said whereas the ODM leader Raila Odinga was busy selling his policies and speaking to the people about what he will do for them when elected President on the 9th of August this year, the Deputy President was busy flexing his muscles by branding people’s names and spreading baseless propaganda.
“Raila is talking about how will make the economy grow, improve the working conditions to enable small scale traders to prosper, and strengthen devolution for better service delivery while Ruto is chest-thumping about projects he has never been part of,” said John.
National Assembly Minority Leader and ODM Director of Elections Junet Mohammed wondered what the kind of leader Ruto will make if what he thrives on are hate and lies.
“Now that he is taking credit for the good things the Jubilee administration has done, I want to ask him if he also takes credit in the theft of money meant for Arror and Kimwarer dams, maize scandal, and other scandals that he is associated with,” he said.
