“They Will Even Snatch Your Wives”: Uhuru Warns Kenyans Against Electing Thieves

President Kenyatta has warned Kenyans against electing politicians who are crisscrossing the country making what he termed as “false promises.”

Uhuru, who spoke in Mararal, Samburu County, said Kenyans must be wary of “thieves” masquerading as leaders. 

“I have been commissioning water, roads, electricity, and other projects. Some have been coming here with sweet words, asking you to vote for them. Be careful because they will even snatch your wives. Do not entertain them,” Uhuru said.

“My aim is to serve you. We are bringing clean water to Maralal, electricity, and even tackling insecurity in Samburu County. Those who want to lead you in the future should stop bothering me.” 

The president thanked the Samburu County Assembly for endorsing the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Constitutional Amendment Bill, saying the initiative is meant to benefit ordinary Kenyans.

Uhuru noted that the pastoralist communities like Samburu will be among the biggest beneficiaries of the BBI once it sails through. 

Last month, Kenyatta said that he is determined to leave the country in safe hands, insisting that he will not hand over to “thieves.”

“I intend to ensure that those who will take over power will not exploit and steal from Kenyans. I want the next government to foster unity among our people not divide them,” Uhuru said at a function in Nairobi.

Well if they snatched my wife, then,she was not good for me anyway. But I agree with the president,and I have said this for along time.It is the voters who elect this thieves. Every election circle,they make the same false promises,and come back with lies,and and are relected again,save for a few who get overrun by a new thief.
On this one,Iam with you Mr. President.

Uhuru is simply telling Kenyans not to elect DP Ruto who have stolen everything including rats in your house @maxiley! I hope Kenyans have matured in making the right decision when electing those to lead them! Uhuru is right to say he will not hand over power to Ruto because the man is a conman and a big thief!

UHURU wacha UJINGA.
How can you promise something that you have not delivered?
You and your family are the biggest thieves in Kenya. Followed by RUTO, Raila, all SENATORS ,MPS, MCAs etc.
But Kenyans will wake up one day and RECLAIM what is rightfully theirs.
REVOLUTION is coming.
Freedom is coming.

You and your family are the worst thieves Kenya has ever had.Strange you’re calling other thieves when you’re a beneficiary of the stealing culture. You’re a pathetic character!

The seat of the president is not yours or its not a pass on thing.Kenyans decide by themselves who they want .Your government has many thieves already and the time to clean it not there so just go home your BBI is pure trash .Kenyan mps and senators are most highly paid in the World. Why did you not stop this thievery. Tenda wema enda zako.

What thief could there be that is bigger than this BBI itself? BBI is inviting us to ;1)create numerous unnecessary expensive govt jobs. 2)if the govt is struggling to pay 15% to counties how will it pay out 35%. Does this not amount to a cruel and destructive lie. 3)how about the increased taxation and corruption that will be brought about by this BBI. 4)why not spend this money to pay teachers, doctors, covid relief, charity to the hungry etc 5)where is the corresponding revenue to pay for the significant increase in the size of govt. 6) Are you avoiding to tell us that the country will result to loans to pay for this waste of resources. Is this not stealing from our children's future. This is very immoral. Kenyans should reject this BBI at the ballot box.

@ Kim, you have articulated my very areasons why I dont support this BBI.As much as I dislike Ruto for his thievery,and conniving ways,on this one I agree with him. BBI will creat jobs for more money to be wasted on corruption.

The BBI must exist to get rid of big thieves! Ruto is the prime target in BBI! With BBI and without BBI, there will not be a president Ruto in Kenya come 2022! We can’t have a murderer for a president - Yebei, Juma, Msando, Kenei, muikali, burned children and women inside Kiambaa church, and the list goes no and on.... That is the cost (BBI) of getting rid of Ruto and his big teeth!

@ Ali, with or without BBI, I dont think Ruto will be president anyway.Yes he is crooked,and wananchi know that.My hope as I said in an early post is that the voters cast their votes wisely,and based in part on the integrity of the candidate.
Having said this, you cannot discount the fact that more money doled out to counties will lead to more money into the hands or thieves. BBI is a good idea whose time has not come.

Reject the BBI and elect Ruto, the biggest thief in the world, to take Kenya to the amagadon of burning hell? Have you ever heard of arrow and kimweror dams scandal? Ruto presided over that theft! Rotich used to take our money to Ruto’s house in huge bags and sacks! Is that what you want for Kenya??

It’s a shame when our President keeps talking about thieves but he cannot take no action against. Either it’s propaganda or he is a toothless dog!!
