Jubilee Party Asks Deputy President William Ruto to Explain the Source of His Billions

Jubilee Party Asks Deputy President William Ruto to Explain the Source of His Billions

The Jubilee Party has asked Deputy President William Ruto to explain the source of his wealth following the recent public disclosures about his fortune.

Addressing journalists on Monday, Jubilee officials led by secretary-general Raphael Tuju expressed shock at how fast the deputy president managed to accumulate massive wealth within seven years.

“By his own accounts, the deputy president is on video record when he told Kenyans that he was worth Sh100 million sometime in 2015. In the intervening 7 years, he has worked very hard in his businesses, and now, therefore, he has assets like choppers, hotels, and land worth billions of shillings,” said Tuju.

He challenged Ruto to produce his tax remittance proof to Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) from his vast businesses, adding that the deputy president has been more generous than Safaricom and other blue-chip companies.

“We would like to congratulate Ruto for being able to make such amazing strides in business even as he was studying for his Ph.D. concurrently with running a multi-billion-shilling empire and carrying the heavy burden of working as number two in command and being involved in presidential campaigns on his Sundays, and still sparing time to do harambees from his hard-earned sweat money.” 

“It is time he produced the manual to Kenyans on get rich quick that will be beneficial to his hustler movement,” Tuju added.

He added that the revelation by Interior CS Fred Matiang’i that Ruto owns five helicopters, two hangers at Wilson Airpor, two high-end hotels in Nairobi and Mombasa, and more than 20,000 acres of land among others calls for a proper explanation.

“May it please the deputy president Dr. William Ruto EGH, UPL, DL, CH to show these young people all the skills and how to acquire such property in such a short time. He should teach us, the clueless adults in this country, how we can do the same. We may not possess the supernatural powers of hard work that he has but at least he should teach us something else apart from the wheelbarrows, show us another way to perform such miracles.”

    William Ruto got his PhD in Nairobi university.

    This is the same place Mumbi Seraki, who is Uhuru Kenyatta spiritual advisor got her PhD.

    Mumbi Seraki claims to be God.

    William Ruto is attempting to project himself as a God. He claims to be unstoppable. Unless he can stop a bullet with his body, it is obvious he’s lying.

    Jehova Wanyonyi used to claim to be God and then he died.

    Most cult leaders claim to be Gods of some type.

    Nairobi university needs to be investigated for brainwashing weak Kenyans like William Ruto & Mumbi Seraki( find her on YouTube where she is trying to recruit people to her church).

    Dr mumbi has changed lately into witchcraft and ancient Babylonian Egypt gods and beliefs. Good to know she's behind the fall of Jayden. Shetani ashindwe

    Je, ule uchunguzi wa Bwawa la Arror na lile jingine la Kimwarer ulifika wapi? Ndugu yetu Rotich aliyesimamia Idara ya Fedha alipatikana na hatia yoyote? Mabilioni ya fedha yaliyopotea kwenye mabwawa haya mawili yamepatikana?

    WaSwahili husema, "Kuuliza si Ujinga."

    I definitely agree with Mr. Tuju it is a true miracle to accumulate such kind of wealth in a span of six years. Next step is for him to give us a blueprint on how to do those miracles

    When did he start farming chicken that produce 5 eggs each per day?

  6. MugīkūyūSep 6, 2021

    The rate he has accumulated his wealth would only mean each of his hens lay 1000 eggs per day assuming none is broken and all are sold out. Question is why hasn't he shared that special breed with his constituents who are dying of hunger, lack school fees and medical care?

    Pesa ni zake ...wewe umesaidia wangapi

  8. JohnsonSep 7, 2021

    Sometimes last year Ruto said he gets 1,500,000 eggs per day. A couple of weeks ago he cut the number to 150,000 eggs per day! Can Ruto ever speak the truth about basic stuff? These kinds of lies with Ruto are exactly what is landing him in trouble! The guy dies not know how to tell the truth to even safe his own life!

  9. KenyaSep 6, 2021

    Arror and Kimwarer Dams money.

  10. imkgoogoSep 6, 2021

    Tuju forgot the rules of politics, first produce your tax returns. Then, President, DP and the acting PM.

  11. WillySep 6, 2021

    Ruto goes first because he has unexplained assets Kenyans need to know where he got the money to buy those assets.

  12. AsistaSep 6, 2021

    Who in Kenya doesn’t have unexplained wealth? The rest of the thieves left over in jubilee cannot handle the emerging hot politics of the land and therefore trying to throw mud everywhere with the hope it sticks.
    Tiki has seen the ups and downs of time. He should tell us firstly about his accounts then the presidents and even go further and explain to us how Jomo got his billions.

  13. imkgoogoSep 7, 2021

    Tuju should lead the way. Remember he is also a cabinet secretary (civil servant).

  14. itugi cia EmbuSep 6, 2021

    Tuju - that is only honorable and honest way forward. We shall let you Go first then, all your party executives follow. Walk the Talk.

  15. MarySep 6, 2021

    Let all the youth from central Kenya wake up now thst the Ruto lies have been exposed by our honorable CA Dr Matiangi! Matiangi did not labor at all! I’m sure he has more assets belonging to Ruto that he can reveal to you the tanagers of mount Kenya who blindly follow Ruto to the hilt! May it all come crashing down on this lying Ruto!

  16. AsistaSep 6, 2021

    And so which one doesn’t have this money? Raila or Uhuru?

  17. MruatetuSep 6, 2021

    So well stated!! To hell with this conman Ruto and many of his like minded thieves and sycophants enjoying billions stolen from the Kenyan people. Hawa wezi wote there days are numbered!!!!!

  18. WakaruraSep 6, 2021

    Arrow and Kimwerer dams was a big cash cow for Ruto’s ill gotten wealth! Ruto netted 21 billion shillings in this dams scheme!

    Ruto has never had a day job but Ruto has over $400 billion dollars stashed in foreign banks through some money laundering schemes! Of course Ruto should explain where he stole all that money!

    Abd besides the land Ruto has in Kenya, Ruto also has land in Zimbabwe and in the state of Mississippi in America!

  19. AsistaSep 6, 2021

    Stop smoking that shit. Ruto never handled any monies belonging to dams. Gives us the foreign account numbers and lot numbers of the alleged properties or stop your pesa nane cheap propaganda.

  20. Bobby KibeSep 7, 2021

    I seriously doubt Ruto has land in the deep American South. The US State Department barred him from visiting the country years ago unless his destination is the United Nations.

  21. MutaiSep 6, 2021

    Ruto’s phd is fake! Ruto had a very difficult time defending his PhD thesis! Kenyans must understand that Ruto’s phd is bought and not sweated for!

    Mana and papa in Sugoi are know that Ruto stole a phd! I’m not sure why Tuju does not know that fact!

  22. MruatetuSep 6, 2021

    Many onow the PhD was stolen including Tuju. It’s just not material to attack those fake credentials as they have little value compared to the big picture of money he has stolen from the Kenyan people. We just don’t want to be seen as ‘haters’ attacking his fake credentials. He can lie on that to his family and like minded people. Not smart ones who happen to be majority of kenyans today.

  23. MruatetuSep 6, 2021

    *know

  24. KenyaSep 7, 2021

    "Super Man". how did he manage to work on his PhD, duties of DP and run his empire business that made billions at the same time. Super thief.

  25. Morris MenyeSep 6, 2021

    Tunju should first confess how his share of shs 2b.daily loot cleared shs 1.6b debt at EADB.And DPP,Haji and DCI,Kinoti must explain how Tunju escaped murder charges after killing his bodyguard,Ogunda who he caught screwing his wife,Akinyi in 2013.

  26. Morris MenyeSep 6, 2021

    All the money is withdrawn from TRESURY with direct permission of government’s CEO-president.That is why Goldenburg,Anglolishing cases flopped-because ACCUSED NUMBER ONE MUST BE THE PRESIDENT-in this case Uhuru.Arror and Kimwerrer cash was stolen from bongoinzi Kenyans by the elite thugs,led and shared by their TIC,Uhuru.Akili kidogo ata hakuna anajiuliza vile shs 730b(2b kwa siku) zinaibiwa kwa mwaka na Ruto hayuko? Yenu ni kulipa.

  27. Kora kaniniSep 6, 2021

    Why are we going only after RUTO?
    Let's start with, KENYATTA family, MOI family, KIBAKI family, RAILA family, SONKO, JOHO, MWAU,WAIGURU ALL SENATORS,ALL MPS,MCAS.

  28. NjambaSep 6, 2021

    Jambazi Ruto will defeat all other thugs plus PRIME MURDERER/jambazi zugu Raila.All of them led by muchawi Raila,majambazi Kalonzo,Musalia etc have one enemy-jambazi Ruto.Some clever thugs like Wetangula are silent and will just move to the winning side.BUT REMEMBER NONE OF THE TWO WILL HELP KENYANS.First steps to move an inch forward remains-ENFORCING THE LAW & DOWNSIZING THE GOVERNMENT.

  29. mtejaSep 7, 2021

    Correct! Let all and sundry do the do

  30. G777Sep 6, 2021

    Good subject. Let all bigwigs produce ownership documents from mama ngina and kenyattas all the way to the bottom millionaires. If kenyattas do it then all will do it. If not then Tuju is playing a tired political song

  31. mtejaSep 7, 2021

    Good one

  32. GuestSep 6, 2021

    Whether he pays tax on the stolen wealth is not the issue .How does he continue to get away with it.Those churches rolling out the red carpet for him are equally to blame for them to benefit someone else is being exploited most probably they are paying for it through the income tax taken from their salaries if they are lucky enough to have a job.Furthermore he is not stealing alone spineless Uhuru has decided to turn a blind eye because he is just as guilty if not more.Corruption and outright greed will finish Kenya the same story repeats itself every election and yet these same MPIGs get re-elected.

  33. CitizenSep 6, 2021

    He has Gold laying chicken.

  34. MadarakaSep 6, 2021

    Mwakilishi you have become a mouthpiece for handshake tumbocrats- shame on you. What is good fior the geese is good for the gander. Ruto, uhuru, Odinga, Matiangi etc should explain the source of their wealth. Do not be selective.Wajinga waliisha.

  35. RAS menelikSep 7, 2021

    Kama aliiba wa nini hajafungwa ama mahakimu wamenunuliwa pia Tuju na wengine wengi ni wezi wamepora mali za umma na kujitajirisha sasa wana aagazia Ruto KRA wafanye kazi yao kila mwizi aangaziwe na sheria itumike
