"God Has Come Through for Kenya": Ruto Says After Appellate Court Shoots Down BBI

Deputy President William Ruto has reacted after the Appeals Court upheld a High Court ruling that nullified the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) constitutional review process.
Ruto, a fierce critic of BBI, took to Twitter to express his joy moments after the seven-judge bench finished delivering its verdict on the appeal case.
“God, our heavenly Father has come through for Kenya & stopped the coalition of the known, the mighty, and the powerful from destroying our constitution,” Ruto wrote on his Twitter handle.
He added: “Our God, help the alliance of the unknown, the jobless, the hustlers & struggling farmers to now engineer our economy from bottom up.”
ODM leader Raila Odinga, who was the main proponent of BBI, accepted the ruling made by the second-highest court in the country.
“The decision of the Court of Appeal today is remarkable as it forms part of the continuing conversation on the future of this country and the significance of our new Constitution to the political culture we and the generations that will come after us will practice,” said Odinga in a statement.
“It is likely that this is not the end of the conversation and the parties involved will each make their own decisions on how to proceed from the decision that has been delivered today.”

I like the defeat simply because the largest voting block in central Kenya can now field another kikuyu presidential candidate with a winning formula because of the tyrant of the numbers rule! No one should complain!! It is all very good!!

By his odious actions here on earth especially of killing others! And I do so because he continues to lie like Hitler did to the Jews until he killed 6 million Jews! Ruto is very capable of Hitler’s machinations and Kikuyu must wake up to defend themselves!!

Kenyans of small size tribes should never complain that the tyrant of numbers is working against them! Uhuru tried to make the system work for every body but the lunatic judges stopped the act of balancing!
Never again should anyone ever say those with larger population number of voters are monopolizing the political space!

Makamu wa Rais Ndugu Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto:
Ningependa kukukumbusha ya kwamba, sasa kuna uviko (COVID-19) kwa hiyo, usifanye mikutano yote ya kisiasa pamoja na mwenzako Ndugu Raila Juma Oginga na kusambaza virusi vya korona kama aliyekuwa kiongozi wa Marekani alivyofanya.
Kwa nini unataka sana kuwa rais? Si umekuwa makamu wa rais kwa muda wa miak 9? Ni nini ambacho hukufanya wakati huo wote ambacho utaweza kufanya sasa?

@Imara Daima Mbona huulizi mbona Raila anataka kuwa rais baada ya kuwa kwenye siasa hiyo miaka yote kama MP, PM na hakuna lolote la maana alilolifanya ila kusababisha vurugu na vita 2007/2008. Alikuwa MP na Kibera bado kuna makazi duni mji wa Nairobi. Na bado amejaribu kuwa rais mara tano bila kufanikiwa.

There should be a term limit as to how many times one has to run for political office. Just think about it.You run 3 times for presidency in Kenya,and fail, that is ajust about 15 years. That's along time to be holding the same ideology considering in those 15 years some young and bright blood have come up...

Ruto is a little young but a murderer! We don’t need to have a Hitler like killer to kill more of our people! We know Ruto didn’t kill Luhya folks and that is why you are so casual about his murderous tendencies!

Ruto,please make it easier for Kenyans.You seem to have away of making your God listen,and revel to you his plans for Kenya.Not only that but He seems to answer your prayers. PLease tell him to wave His "magic" and wipe Covid19. Iam sure you will agree with me that ,that is an urgent need.Most importantly,have him punish men of the cloth who have been behaving badly.And let those who walk the narrow,and straight path to start healing the sick ,cripples,and the blind by merely touching them, just like your son JC did...That will be agreat serve to Kenyans. And truly if He does respond to these requests,you will have my vote. Yes, I know he realizes that it's urgent,but remind him.Well you know how to make him listen.Iam ready to write acheck for 5mil.to your church as a modest donation in appreciation for your interceding on our behalf.Thank you. Amen!

Folks, just wake up one day and imagine Ruto being the president of Kenya and how many Kenyans will die in the hands of Ruto!!
Kiambaa church massacre of 2008 orchestrated and carried out by Ruto was just a warm up exercise. 2022 will be a real bloodbath and it will start not too far fromSugoi!
Kenyans are very afraid and fearful of a DP Ruto government! We are heading to the times of Adolf Hitler of Germany with Ruto using God to blind fold the eyes of those he will turn around a literally kill in huge numbers after 2022.
Take it as a “bottom-up” choreographed joke to cheat Kenyans but tears will freely be flowing with Ruto as president!

Maulana nimwambudiye mimi. Mungu nimjuae mie. Rabuka muweza yote, muumba mbingu na ardhi sio wakuchezewa. Na Yeye sio wa kukumbukwa wakati tu binadamu aso nyuma ama mbele, anapoafikia ndoto zake za kipusi. Ruto nakwambia nakwambia sasa, leo leo, hipati kura yangu ng'o. Filamu ya wanawake na watoto wasio hatia, uliowateketesa kanisani walipo torokea kujihami, ingali inasononesha moyo wangu. Watoto hap walipatikana wangali wamewakaba mama zao vifuani na migongo yao, hunikereketa na kukera moyo wangu si haba. Pengine utakapo tembelea damu ulioimwaga wewe, na kutubu, nusra Mungu unaye mchezea kana kwamba yeye ni kubavu Raila, ataokoa kutofahamu kwako kuhusu janga hilo. Wakenya sasa hawamo kama walivyokuwa nyakati za muuwajo baba yako Moi. Wakati tu utawajia ambapo ulioyakandamiza miaka hio yote, itachipuka wazi.

There is a huge problem with those who explain the laws in Kenya. Judges have joined hands with special interests to deny Kenyans their voices, choices and what works in the interest of common wanchi.
If these confused legal folks are not neutered, Kenyans will find themselves in a start of confusion, constant fighting and anarchy!

Did Ruto pay for any lawyer to represent him in the BBI saga? Why then is he so excited? This man is an opportunist. The BBI failed because it was done in ways that violated the Constitution. It didn’t fail because Ruto was anti it’s passing. Only fools will be fooled that Ruto was the one who championed for its defeat.

Nakubaliana na wewe kabisa. Ndugu Raila Juma Oginga yafaa astaafu na kuachana kabisa mambo ya siasa nakuota ndoto ya kuwa rais wa nchi ya Kenya.
Ili Kenya ifufuke tena 2022, twahitaji viongozi wapya kabisa ambao wana upeo (vision) wa kuona mbali. Pia, tunataka viongozi wapya ambao hawakufundishwa siasa na Marehemu Ndugu Toroitich Kipkorios Arap Moi.
Ili Kenya ifufuke tena, ni lazima watu wafuatao waachane na mambo ya siasa kabisa.
1. Ndugu Kalonzo Musyoka
2. Ndugu Musalia Mudavadi
3. Ndugu Raila Juma Oginga
4. Ndugu Samoei Arap Ruto
5. Ndugu Wetangula
6. Ndugu Joho
7. Ndugu Mutua
Kwa maoni yangu ya kujitahidi kupata Kenya mpya isiyo na rushwa, hongo, na ufisadi, nadhani Ndugu KIVUTHA KIBWANA anaweza kufufua nchi ya Kenya 2022.
