David Murathe Claims DP Ruto's Frequent Mt. Kenya Tours Meant to Radicalize Youths, Says it May Revive Mungiki
Jubilee vice-chairman David Murathe has questioned Deputy President William Ruto’s frequent visits to the Mt. Kenya region.
Murathe who spoke during an interview with KTN News wondered why Ruto only takes his so-called empowerment programs to Central Kenya and not Rift Valley—his political bedrock.
“We are warning our people because we suspect he is on a radicalization mission. When did you hear he is empowering the youth and women from his region?”
“When did you last hear the Deputy President going to Eldoret or to Nandi or the larger Rift valley to empower women or deal with boda boda riders from his backyard?” Murathe posed.
He further accused DP Ruto of using the hustler narrative to drive a wedge between the rich and poor, something that could lead to the resurgence of the dreaded Mungiki sect.
“We used to have Mungiki in the central and now when this narrative of the haves and haves not is used? That was Mungiki’s philosophy,” he added.
Murathe added that youths need meaningful economic empowerment and not handouts from DP Ruto.
“He is going back to Tharaka Nithi, he was there last weekend, he is going back to Kirinyaga, he was there a week ago, he is going back to Murang’a after people died in Kenol,” he added.

Ruto is the new leader of mungiki! He is recruiting both the kalenjin and woria! His new name is Arap mashamba demoed Njenga!
As much as I don't agree with RUTO,
Murathe need to shut the hell up.
Murathe can kiss Railas ass all he wants, but if Raila WINS he will be long forgotten.
Stop planting hatred seeds now.
Only the regular mwanainchi will die.
@murathe, just shut the hell up! You been shooten down just like your name.Kalisha your black matakos down.Just the other days in Bomas of Kenya, you and your half-cast Kenneth you were roughed up by Security for not following the protocol.
You've this mediocre thinking, that you're the mouthpiece of Mt Kenya people. Recruit your Sons and Daughters from your family and baptise them as Mungiki.They can serve the interest of fatty Atwoli & mganga in your household. Leave the rest of us alone and in peace. We will support whoever will have our best interest in their heart. You have outlived your usefulness. You were rejected big time the last time you run in Murang'a. Go home and sleep your red-shot eyes. You seems to be taking bhang for breakfast everyday.
Potato, meat head! @sheria yetu - so the best you can do is insult others of divergent views?? What a shame to turn to insults because your man is useless!
Murathe, where is the covid money?
Keep Ruto out of central Kenya! He can go spill blood of his kale relatives in mogotio! We do not want this murderous animal in our backyard.
The youth should never accept to bought by Ruto with stolen money! Ruto is a tribalist in sheep’s skin and his goal is to kill all the Kikuyus.
Don’t be fooled by Ruto and other kales who lie they love the kikuyu community! This guy Ruto is evil and does not have good intentions toward the Kikuyus!
We had Moi too and we saw how all that went in the 1990s. We don’t want a repeat of Moi through his bustard child Ruto.
We stand to lose the most with Ruto. As a matter of fact we will lose everything we have worked so hard for over the years! Ruto is a blood thirst idiot who should never stand a chance to destroy the kikuyu land!
Murathe’s point is very well taken about Ruto trying to radicalize the kikuyu youth to make them useless like his community youth. Vijana take note of what our father is telling us!
I love Murathe for calling the DP Ruto out!
I ask the same question; why is Ruto not going to empower his kalenjin community youth who are very poor and are fighting over stolen cows????
Why, while Ruto is always going to Ndindi Nyoro muranga to poison the minds of kids?? We want Ruto barred from coming to muranga! Yeye ni murogi and he is a curse to our people!
We need to fire all those central Kenya politicians who are selling us to a kalenjin thief!
We do not need foolish politician like ndindi nyoro, Wahome, kuria, faith Gitau, kwenya, etc in our communities!
These policies s come from some of the poorest places in central Kenya and are being used by DP Ruto to take us to hell! Ruto is the worst enough to the development of youth in Kenya. We can do better!!
What murathe is saying is seriously hitting home. Ruto is making breeding grounds for the return of mungiki! Ruto is a mungiki himself!
I have said it before that Ruto’s dirty wheelbarrow narrative of keeping the youth poor have all the hallmarks of a mungiki! We don’t need a mad DP to destroy our communities again.
We need to forcefully block Ruto from entering our communities. People must know who Ruto is - he has burned and killed our people in churches in Eldoret! Ruto is not to be trusted by no body.
Do you remember the 2007 Kiambaa church killings? Ruto did that and denied it. He will burn children and women again. That is why he coming in through the poor youth who want free material things and do not want to work hard! He has the wrong agenda for us as the kikuyu youth!
How is he radicalizing alcoholics??
Majority of them are alcoholics.
Alcoholism is even worse in the kalenjin part of the country! 99% of the kalenjin are alcoholics and take hard drugs! So I respectfully ask you @guesty, why not use Ruto’s wheelbarrow projects to empower his lost kalenjin youth!? They need that cheap help more than any body else in Kenya! Wacheni utoto!!
Ruto have murdered our people in large numbers before in 2007/8. How can trust him now?
Kikuyus died in droves in Eldoret after Ruto ordered the kalenjin men to burn our children and women in churches and shoot our men with poisoned arrows. Ruto is very evil and he has no Godly heart!
Ruto protected his kalenjin community except the late Muteshi, Yebei and Kenei. The blood Ruto shed of these three men is not equal to the blood of thousands of Kikuyus he ordered to be killed in the 2007 genocide. It is Ruto who benefited the killed Kikuyus - he became the DP and still Ruto have not shown any remorse of the people he killed!
We can’t accept Ruto to lead Kenya in 2022. He will eliminate the kikuyu comunities because he is a coward! You can see it in Ruto’s murderous face! Beware folks!!
The heated comments above only go to prove that Ruto is winning over hearts and minds in Central Kenya. Kieleweke needs to come up with their own strategy to vie for Central votes instead of trying to shoot down the clear front-runner. Murathe and his cohorts have good reason to panic since the writing is on the wall. #HustlerNation
@mumbi - Get yourself a wheelbarrow from your boy Ruto and push yourself to the nearest mental ward!
It is women like you and their children he killed in a church in Kiambaa in 2007! Stop talking from the abrstracts about being a hustler.
Your poverty driven mentality makes you a hustler that you are. Wewe ni Wangu wa makeri to our community! You will sell every body for a damn wheelbarrow. Shame on you old lady!!
We don’t eat hustler politics you are selling us @ Mumbi! You can vote for whoever you wish; you only got one vote that you can waste on Ruto!
The vice president has used state resources in order to promote and advance his academic and political fortunes while employed by the people. When is this going to stop?
I agree with Mumbi. Ruto has made inroads in Central and his opponents better get to the drawing board quickly, otherwise, his lead will be unassailable
