Tuju Accuses Ruto of Perpetrating Attacks on President Uhuru's Family

Jubilee party secretary-general Raphael Tuju has slammed Deputy President William Ruto for perpetrating attacks on President Kenyatta’s family. 

Tuju, who spoke during a media briefing on Monday, condemned the unwarranted attacks on the first family by Ruto allies, saying they had crossed the line and should be tamed.

“They have no respect, these unwarranted attacks on the first family must stop. The founding president is not around to defend himself,” Tuju said.

The Jubilee official further accused Ruto of blackmailing Kenyans and the President, who has managed to stay tolerant and accommodative of the deputy president.

“Not only can the DP no longer blackmail Kenyans, but the people of Kenya also will not accept to be blackmailed. In this latest saga on his security detail, we would like to congratulate our deputy party leader William Ruto for his honesty to admit that he is a very rich hustler,” said Tuju.

He added: “It was an admirable display of optics and demeanor of humility before his real self and ego came back as he launched a scathing social media attack executed by his foul-mouthed political mouthpieces and bloggers with most of the vitriol directed at the person and family of the founding father of our nation, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, who is not here to defend himself.”

Tuju warned Ruto that the ruling party will not “countenance his venturing into crossing this line of referring to the family of the late president Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.”

“He must call his goons to order, we continue to resist a lot of provocation luring us to go into the slimy and smelly social pig stay that some of his people occupy,” he said.
