ODM leader, Raila Odinga has hit back at Deputy President William Ruto over claims that he is to blame for the Jubilee government’s failures.
Speaking on Friday, Ruto claimed that Odinga and ODM have been involved in the running of the government for the past three years through the handshake, and cannot distance themselves from its failures.
“You (Raila) came and changed the government’s priorities from the Big Four Agenda to alternative ones like the Building Bridges Initiative. Now, after you have failed miserably, you want to run away,” said Ruto.
“You must bear the consequences for the derailment of Jubilee’s development agenda. You cannot point fingers at others.”
Responding to Ruto on Saturday, Odinga, who described the deputy president as “Mr. Six Months”, reminded him that he has been in the government for eight years and not three years.
He went ahead and criticized Ruto for making promises in 2013 that are yet to be fulfilled.
“Mr. Six months! The youngsters you promised laptops 8 years ago are now old enough to see through your LIES. The youth you promised 8 million jobs in 8 years can see through the WHEELBARROW lie you are now peddling. It has been 8 years Mr. 6 months and not 3yrs,” Raila said through his Twitter account.
Odinga says Ruto pledged to deliver laptops to school children, one million jobs for the youth, and 47 modern stadia in all the counties in six months.

Yes both Ruto and Uhuru are one and same in presidency. Ruto has to answer for the failures as well as Jubilee govt. Ruto should return all the stolen billions meant for development that his theft of the same denied the big 4 agenda implementation that the country sorely needed. Thats what he is trying to shy from and the reason his boss doesn't want him anywhere govt funds are involved. He is the main reason Kenya is behind. He is busy propagating Trump style antics and twisted propagandaist lies. He’ll fail miserably! Kenyans are smarter now than theyve ever been!
You are the chief follower of conspiracy theories such as those trump was spewing. Lies and lies. Ruto if he has stolen any money, stole more less like his boss and the other stinking thieves within the central government as well as the devolved units.
You see right now, his enemies, you being inconsequential, are scouring all over to find something criminal that Ruto has done so they can stick it on him and stop him from his ground swell hustler nation movement. Such has disappointingly ended in futility. And even if at all for one moment we paint him not clean then he will come out as dirty as the rest. Somebody show me a saint in this Kenya government cluster!!
Your boy Ruto always claim he is co-equal with the president! That simply means both positive and negative are shared between the two! Why is it that Ruto, the dummy boy now wants to blame others instead of taking accountability and direct responsibility? Nyinyi watu muko na shinda zenu!
I love it.
UHURU and RUTO made those promises.

Mr “6 months”. Hilarious.
Reminds me of Mr. “6 pieces of gizzards” a legend I came across once upon a time.
The jubilee campaign manifesto included the six months to implement purchase of laptops which Raila himself was opposed to and the stadiums. Yes Ruto went out as candidate for DP selling the manifesto.
After elections the president is in charge. So the bug stops at the Presidents office not Dp.
