Deputy President William Ruto has accused ODM leader Raila Odinga of derailing Jubilee Party’s development plan.
According to Ruto, Jubilee was able to deliver a lot in their first term and had good plans for Kenya under Big Four Agenda, but Raila ruined it through the handshake.
During a meeting with Narok grassroots leaders on Thursday, the DP said that Raila Odinga is not only derailing Jubilee party’s projects but also being disrespectful.
“Have respect, we looked for this government, when its here you are coming to hang around. For four years you have been in the government, right now you are being abusive.
The second in command noted that through derailing Jubilee Party’s agenda, Raila Odinga has killed the dreams of Kenyan youth.
“You came and hijacked our government and derailed the Big Four agenda that was to offer 2 Million jobs to the youth, and farmers would benefit from Agro-processing.
You took us to Raggae issues, BBI, saying we should change the constitution so that you get seats.. Now you want to fault the government that we made? “William Ruto said.
The deputy president was responding to a claim by Raila Odinga that he derailed President Uhuru’s development projects in Jubilee’s first term.
Speaking at Chungwa House on Wednesday, September 8, Odinga said the handshake saved President Uhuru from the jaws of William Ruto.
“I found (President) Uhuru was held by the neck, could not do anything. Right now, he can breathe and supervise development projects. This was not possible in the past because the interest then was to get where to make money,” Raila said.
Other than Raila, the Jubilee Party also accused the DP of blackmailing his boss during their first term in office.
They said Ruto made sure he gets half of the Cabinet and government appointments so as to appoint his ethnic group.
