Uhuru Tears into Deputy President William Ruto over 'Hustler' Narrative

President Kenyatta has once again rubbished the “dangerous” political ideology of ‘Hustler versus Dynasty.’

Kenyatta said the narrative being peddled by Deputy President William Ruto and his associates was aimed at profiling people perceived to be from wealthy families.

While insisting that no one chooses where to be born, the president said the fact that he is the son of the country’s first president does not make him a dynasty.

“The way you hear them call me dynasty just because I was born by Kenyatta. Who chooses where he wants to be born? Tell them to stop insulting me, they will know where votes come from next year,” Kenyatta said while addressing 7,000 leaders from Mt. Kenya region at Sagana State Lodge on Saturday.

He added: “I plead with you not to believe in those lies peddled by people calling themselves hustlers.”

He further accused the propagators of the narrative of hoodwinking Kenyans with handouts, yet they opposed a revenue-sharing formula that would have benefitted the people of the Mt. Kenya region.

“You see them here come to tell you, ooh you have been neglected and throwing some few coins your way to hoodwink you, yet it’s the same money they have looted, your resources. Take that money when it comes, but don’t be blinded or misled.”

“If these people really care about you and this region, why would they the other day oppose the revenue sharing formula, yet it was keen on solving the problem of skewed resource allocation?” he posed.
