Kalonzo Chides Ruto for Inciting the Poor Against the Rich

Kalonzo Chides Ruto for Inciting the Poor Against the Rich

Kalonzo claimed that Ruto has adopted the Marxist theory to drive a wedge between the rich and the poor, with a view of creating a class war in the country.

He further accused the deputy president of undermining President Uhuru by portraying him as a failure yet they were elected on the same ticket in 2013 and 2017.

“As a former Vice President, the actions by Ruto of bringing the wheelbarrow narrative amounts to sabotage, and President Uhuru has been very patient to act,” he remarked.

He termed Ruto’s wheelbarrow narrative as a mockery to the conscience of the nation, given that the Jubilee administration promised a digital era in the country by providing laptops to school children.

Kalonzo, who spoke in Kitui on Sunday, said the incitement by Ruto must stop.

On Saturday, Ruto defended the hustler campaign, insisting that he is only championing the cause of a majority of Kenyans, who are struggling to make ends meet.

“People are saying the Deputy President is inciting Kenyans against each other. That he is inciting the poor. But let me tell you, I am not stupid to an extent that I can incite Kenyans,” Ruto stated.

“When I say let’s empower the bodaboda rider and the mama mboga, by giving them government money to expand their businesses, how does that amount to incitement?” 

“They think they will drive their agenda like they have done for many years. But I am telling them they should be prepared. The next government will be formed by touts, the bodaboda riders, and the mama mbogas,” Ruto added.

    Tell Ruto to give away all the billions of shillings he has stolen from Kenyan through corruption mechanism and then turn around to call himself a hustler! We have had enough of this filthy rich deceptive dog lying to Kenyans.

    Ruto is on some kind of roped up agenda to wholesale the entire country while using a weird narrative to win the masses!

    No the next government will not be formed by touts,bodaboda riders or mama mbogas.You hope to bribe them basically prey on their poverty to elect you and your thugs to government.What a joke and this is a man who insists he earned his PHD surely it is behavior “unbecoming” of such an accomplished intellectual .Are the educated not suppose to uplift and inspire but all you do is grab and smother your enemies who keep disappearing under questionable circumstances and then you show up to pay your last respects.Wacha kutubeba wajinga

    Land grabber/thug Kalonzo should first state how he got his wealth instead seeking sympathy from hungry billionaires he stole from.You pretend to be a saint but your victims know better.

    Kalonzo tiga WAANA.
    I don't agree with RUTOs politics, but this is the truth....
    Majority of the so called rich got there because of corruption, looting and murdering...you included.
    Hopefully Kenyans will see what kalonzo is scared of and start revolting.
