Ruto's UDA Party Unveils 50-Man Legal Team to Defend 'Hustlers' Against 'Deep State'

Ruto's UDA Party Unveils 50-Man Legal Team to Defend 'Hustlers' Against 'Deep State'

Deputy President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party has unveiled a 50-man legal team ahead of the 2022 general elections.

Dubbed 'UDA Lawyers Brigade', the team will be tasked with defending the deputy president and ‘hustlers’ against the ‘deep state’.

Speaking at UDA headquarters in Nairobi on Monday, the party’s head of Legal Affairs Edward Muriu said the lawyers will also help the party in its quest to uphold the rule of law and safeguard the constitution.

"This is a group of about 50 lawyers who subscribe to the bottom-up economic model under the leadership of William Samoei Ruto and have volunteered their services to the party and the Hustler Movement," Muriu said.

Muriu pointed out that the brigade comprises young lawyers, who will be exposed to the legal environment and given assignments as part of Ruto's youth empowerment program.

"Youth empowerment is a key pillar of Bottom-Up economic model and as a party, it’s our duty and responsibility to bring the young lawyers together, expose them to potential clients, give them challenging assignments, mentor them to be brave soldiers fighting for democracy and rule of law for the benefit of all the hustlers in the republic," he added.

The team is also expected to defend ‘hustlers’ by instituting public interest cases against the ‘deep state’ in instances where they have “weaponized the criminal justice, tax law, employment laws and used against the hustlers on account of being associated with the Hustler Movement.”

UDA Secretary-General Veronica Maina and Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Nelson Havi were present during the press briefing. Havi has declared he will contest for the Westlands parliamentary seat on a UDA ticket.

    Total bullshi*t!! Kicks of a dying horse! A non starter lot of losers feeding off stolen Kenya billions by chief thief Ruto! Mutasaga meno nyinyi ‘vijana’ keep dancing to the thief’s tunes. A bunch of sore loser ‘lawyers’ who are just pro bonos with no professional engagements. What a sad shame!!!!

    Ati even Arama,an MP in Nakuru is telling Ruto not to set his foot in Kisii.The fool forgot he was speaking while in Nakuru. Idiots following muuaji Raila can take the risk of provoking others at the most dangerous places?Arama should remember expired 350 Luos who had been ordered to die for their tribe to rule in 2017.

    King of CORRUPTION these are not Moi days when goat herders were parastatal kings to loot NONSTOP without mercy of others

  9. MuiteDec 21, 2021

    I never thought seeming intelligent folks like the team of 50 lawyers could ever stop so low to defend theft and corruption in kenya under DP Ruto! I never supported a revolution in Kenya, but apparently those who better than these thugs may have to take up Arms to defend the destruction of kenya!

  10. WandaDec 21, 2021

    All these idiots are self serving to their individual interests! Kenya will have difficulties surviving among these hyenas! All the reasons kenyans hate lawyers because of their greediness! Here is the most corrupt Ruto using lawyers to steal more of kenya!

    UDA is a criminal enterprise. They need the lawyers.

    Hahahaha, nikumbaya, tena sana. This is what you do when you start seeing the writing on the wall.

    Africa is truly a unique place in most indexes of human development. In which democracy has a sitting deputy president ever organized a political fight against a government he is part of? No wonder Emmanuel Macron a few months ago said that Africans have not figured much in the development of the human condition.

    Surely I had though Havi was more mentally together than this! He is a very foolish man!

  17. MjombaDec 21, 2021

    The kid is not my son! Atwoli says about Havi!

    RUTO has a point.
    Sometimes back when DEEP STATE was first mentioned, everyone denied it.
    RUTO knows how the game is being played.
    But,when 2 bulls fight, the grass suffers more.

    This is the real mafioso talking. The most corrupt guy in Kenya want to pull a big one on the Wananchi. Rutu is deeply tainted. He was the central figure in thousands of Kenyans being uprooted from their homes. He is guilty as hell. Godfather of a criminal enterprise no other but Ruto. How is it possible that some Kenyans think that he is the second coming of Jesus Christ or whatever is beyond me. Corrupt sob.

    UDA

    United Devils Association

    The gang of 50 lawyers is a clear and present danger to the well-being of kenya! They are thieves who have joined DP Ruto, another big thief, in the quest to steal Kenya’s wealth! They all should be scattered with machetes and let them know Moi days of corruption will not be entertained!

  23. Imara DaimaDec 22, 2021

    The South African former freedom fighter Brother Tutu once said, "If You Are Silent In Situations of Injustice, you have taken the side of the oppressor."

    I thank Brother Keter for being outspoken against the current UDA (United Devils Association) leader Brother Samoei Arap Ruto goal of taking over Kenyan presidency come 2022. Thank you Brother Keter. All the current supporters of Samoei have one thing in common. They are all PLEHOC's. It stands for:

    Person/People
    Lacking
    Empathy
    Humanity
    Or
    Conscience.
