Ruto, who spoke on Wednesday during Mashujaa Day celebrations at Wang’uru Stadium in Kirinyaga, said he will use his bottom-up economy approach to accomplish Uhuru’s Big Four Agenda.

“I assure you as your deputy for the last nine years, God willing that I will make sure your legacy and the agenda you have set on the unity of this nation and the transformation of our nation under the big four agenda together with the bottom-up approach will take this country to greater heights,” said Ruto amid cheers from the crowd.

The deputy president pointed out that under Kenyatta’s leadership, Kenya has witnessed an unprecedented transformation in all sectors, noting that he has set the standards for his successors.

“Your place in the history of this country is not only secure, it’s also prominent, you have set standards for leaders coming after you,” said Ruto.

He added: “I want to give you our assurance, myself and my competitors here that we will protect the legacy you have set, we will ensure that nothing you leave behind is left uncompleted.”

"We will work together in a peaceful manner respecting everybody's rights, being tolerant and peaceful because we do have not another nation, this is the only Kenya we have and it is our duty to protect it.”

    The only person who can create and defend Uhuru's legacy is Uhuru himself. Just like former presidents Kibaki, Moi and Kenyatta did.

    Ruto - you think Uhuru is naive or what? You will even uproot all the roads Uhuru build to lie they were not build well!

    " A people who elect corrupt politicians, impostors, thieves, and traitors are not victims. But accomplices."

    - GEORGE ORWELL.

    This thug went on the ass-kissing expedition which will not take him anywhere. Those who died in that Kiambaa church- the babies, men, women, their souls are crying for justice and nothing else.

    Mistakes start small. Moi fuata nyayo za Jomo. Legacies protect themselves. New president must do their vision. Bottom up middle out top flattened.

    What He really means is he will protect the corruption legacy he started.

  8. GuestOct 20, 2021

    These two thieves have set Kenya backwards .There is no legacy to protect just a constant reminder of how corruption has been enhanced including the creation of Covid millionaires and the ballooning debt to China which they will continue to milk since they need money for elections

    Empty promises, empty rhetoric is all it is. The plunderer now assumes he is a kahuna. All these politicians care about is lining up their pockets while in power at the behest of the common man. Never trust any promises made by politicians just hot air.

    Legacy of stealing and killing should not be upheld.

  11. MaryOct 21, 2021

    Read” I will protect your corruption and all other illegal stuff”

  12. KKOct 21, 2021

    This guy is acting like hes earned the presidency.

    What is amazing is not that Ruto's supporters believe his lies, but he himself believes those very same lies.

  14. Kora kaniniOct 21, 2021

    I will say, just watch this space.
    UHURU will be campaigning for RUTO next year. RAILA is unpredictable ,UHURU knows this. Not unless UHURU has something on Raila, which I doubt.
    It's better to go with the devil you know than an Angel that you don't.
    UHURU and RUTO were DEVELOPED by MOI.
    This are the DYNAMICS of POLITICS in KENYA.

    What he is actually saying: "I will continue to steal the public money like I have done in the last forty years." He is one the best when it comes to fleecing of the Kenya Republic. This is the top mafioso. He leaks corruption all over. If the wananchi elect him to the presidency, there will be no country left!!!!!!! Poor Kenyans!!!
