I Don’t Owe Anyone Any Political Debt, Uhuru Says

I Don’t Owe Anyone Any Political Debt, Uhuru Says

President Kenyatta says he does not owe anyone any political debt.

Kenyatta, who appeared to speak indirectly to Deputy President William Ruto and his allies, stated that he is only indebted to Kenyans, who gave him the mandate to lead the nation.

“Some people keep saying I made a promise to them, no, I only have a promise and covenant with the people of Kenya. That is the promise I am implementing,” Uhuru said.

He added: “Ask your guy [Ruto] why he can’t allow me to do my work and keeps coming back for the baton, instead of waiting for his turn.” 

Speaking during a meeting with 7,000 leaders from Mt. Kenya region at Sagana State Lodge on Saturday, Uhuru said his focus at the moment is to leave behind a united and peaceful country.

He further lashed out at Ruto for propagating what he termed as a dangerous political ideology of ‘Dynasty vs Hustler.’

“Leadership is God-given and I said it’s time for other tribes, I hear them abusing me. They even come to seek your votes while leveraging on my projects. Do not allow anyone to plan your future,” said Uhuru.

He used the meeting to woo Mt. Kenya leaders to rally behind the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), saying the region will reap big benefits if passed.

“You keep saying BBI is bad, if I may ask what is the bad thing? If we had more resources allocated to counties, how is that a bad thing? There are children in this country who get Sh150,000 bursaries while our kids get nothing since we have no enough resources. BBI will make our kids have these bursaries and our roads will be better, how is that a bad thing?” posed Uhuru.

“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,” he added.

    Thanks uhuru- you are a gem! How would you owe anyone anything? You won because you are a genius (went to high class schools and were the best student).You think you are so clever now but I hope Kenyans will see you for who you are- a cheat/ingrate and devoid of any human morals. Just because you can pay people to gather at sagana and "sing songs of praise" akin to North Korea stuff says nothing. It is not about you any more now but about honor-good manners and humility and fearing God. Your children and their children will pay the price of your sins against another human- people will remember what you did for decades to come. Do you know that you and DP were elected not because you made sense but to show a finger to ICC for being unjust- letting the antagonists free while picking "innocent players?" In the same way DP Ruto will be elected by Kenyans to show you two middle ones and remind humanity that lying to people has no place in our society. Proper elections in Kenya will happen thereafter when we shall look at candidates and their platforms. Ogopa Mungu Ndugu! Your tricks will come to an end very soon because Kenyans will serve justice when the time comes. Kenyans will not stand for stupidity neither will they pay/reward impunity- All the chosen one.

    As my AGiKuyu representative,Uhuru owes me my loot share dividends for eight years of his presidency.Uhuru recently admitted he is IN CHARGE of Kenya which includes daily looting of shs 2b,insecurity/slaughter of human beings and corpse cannibalism.But i owe muuaji Raila nothing.Expired jambazi Jaramogi was paid by expired muuaji Kamau for declining presidency for him(Kamau).Kamau grabbed 20000 acres of the then EA Airways land and built SPECTER INTERNATIONAL with a shs 5m.loan from AFC for Jaramogi.The loan was WRITTEN OFF by Kamau before Oginga even paid the first installment.Come to Kibaki TOSHA.Muuaji Raila was paid by Kibaki through-1/2 govt after cannibalizing 1300 Kenyans,shs 4b KKV,500000 acres Lamu land and cannibalizing 89 GiKuyus,EATING shs 32b.maize and swallowing it with shs 8b.TRITON/KPC petrol,shs 100b.Anglolishing etc.After all who told demon Raila that another name for AGiKuyu is Kamau or Mwai?These Malaysia represented themselves not me.TO HELL.

    Yesterday, you told us you had a pact with Ruto. Ten years for you and ten for him. Now you are saying you made no such promise. You're talking from both sides of your mouth. Are you drunk or did you receive a call from Raila\ Orengo warning you about your pact with the devil? We don't need BBI to end corruption. We need the laws currently in the books and a strong independent judiciary that you and all your fellow corrupt leaders already destroyed in the country. Stop tangatangaring around the country. You're wasting our time.

    Thanks @Mwororo, did you listen to the speech- pure tribal incitement! Just what is going on? The guy is telling Kikuyu bribed leaders that his Dp wanted to "take mic - leadership" from him at bomas and that the DP is after his "seat" Lord Jesus what stuff is this? He cannot even acknowledge any contribution from him/his people? I have never listened to such an inciteful speech. By the way I have never heard him go after any other candidate ever even when he needed to. How can you take a whole weekend bashing/abusing someone who did so much for you? So HE Ruto who mobilized Kenyans to vote for you is now your biggest enemy/threat but those that "swore themselves/killed people are heroes?" Huyu mtu amerogwo-seriously. Once again please fear God AND SAFE THE COUNTRY FROM THE DESTRUCTIVE PATH YOU HAVE CHOSEN.I kindly pray that God touches your heart/open your eyes and remember Kenyans will need each other. Do not vote for Ruto -it is your right- let those kikuyus giving you a standing ovation not vote for him- that is irrelevant now- there is justice and God will take care of Kenyans. PLEASE STOP WHAT YOU ARE SMOKING- Kenyans should be very afraid- you will go to ICC by maguru/foot- mark my words. What insecurity is this guy suffering from?

    Both Uhuru and Ruto aren't competent to lead our great country. But you're free to God this God that coz I doubt there is a human being who truly believes in God and want Ruto as his president unless it is a nut case.

    Bipolar personality. I owe Ruto today I don't owe anyone tomorrow. While many were campaigning for him he was as high as a kite. Keep lame ducking as time flies to 2022 Mr reluctant. Let those who are ambitious assume power and wield it for country's sake.

    Siasa za UJINGA.
    UHURU has done nothing for Kenyans.
    Kazi yake ni kula na wizi.
    Hopefully utazukwa nazo.
