Deputy President William Ruto has dismissed plans to kick him out of Jubilee Party together with his political allies.
During his meeting in Murang’a County on Wednesday, November 3, Ruto said he is not bothered by the plans by Jubilee Party officials to remove him and his allies from leadership positions.
Ruto acknowledged that he is unbothered with the plans to kick him out of Jubilee party, saying that the party was corrupted after the 2018 handshake between President Uhuru and Raila Odinga.
“These people are useless and hopeless. They should leave us alone because that party disintegrated the moment they brought in strangers in the name of a Handshake and we have since moved on,” he said.
William Ruto also protested the plans by Jubilee Party to front Raila Odinga as its presidential candidate in the 2022 General Election.
Ruto argued that the position ought to have been given to someone who was in Jubilee since its formation in 2013.
“You mean out of eight million people who joined hands and supported us in forming the Jubilee government for two consecutive terms we cannot have one person we can pick to lead?We cannot follow Odinga because we have our own plan and vision for the country,” Ruto said.
The Deputy President advocated for the bottom up economic approach, which he said he will use to achieve President Uhuru’s big four agenda.
“I have a clear and better plan to ensure the Big Four agenda is carried forward and it shall be incorporated in the bottom-up plan,” he said.
During the Mashujaa day celebrations on October 20, William Ruto had promised President Uhuru to continue with his legacy through the bottom up approach.
He has since been challenging his oponents to come u with their economic models instead of critisising his.
