Ruto Hits Back at President Uhuru for Denying Him Credit for Jubilee Gov’t Successes
Deputy President William Ruto has hit back at President Kenyatta over claims that he abandoned his duties to launch early presidential campaigns.
On Monday, Kenyatta said Ruto and his allies ignored his call to stop premature 2022 campaigns and focus on delivering their pledges to Kenyans.
"Sisi tumekuwa kazi kama jubilee na kama mnakumbuka mimi niliuliza kwa heshima tu nikasema tufanye kazi kwanza alafu turudi wakati wa siasa ukifika, nikaambiwa wewe huna uwezo wa kutuambia tuache, wakasema wacha sisi tutangatange," Uhuru said in Mombasa.
But in rejoinder, Ruto told off President Uhuru for trying to deny him credit for the successes of the Jubilee administration, saying the current government was a joint project between him and the president.
Ruto, who was speaking at a roadside rally in Kakamega county on Tuesday, added that he has played a key role in the success of the Jubilee government.
“…I want to tell our friends, the Jubilee government was a joint project between Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto. I want to tell them you cannot deny me as Deputy President the credit we have achieved in the many things we have achieved as a government," Ruto stated.
"Anybody imagining that they can deny me the credit for the things we did in Jubilee are wasting their time. I made an equal contribution to the success of the Jubilee administration and I know too well, I have been in politics long enough that you plan theory in offices and execute practical in the field sometimes on top of cars," he added.
Ruto, who is eyeing the presidency in the forthcoming elections, further claimed that without him, the Jubilee government would not have existed or achieved anything.
"It is not going to happen my friends. Kama ni mpango wa mabarabara mimi niliketi nikapanga, kama ni mambo ya stima tuliketi chini tukapanga, kama ni mambo ya TTI tuliketi na tukapanga hata mambo ya elimu pia tuliketi na tukapanga pamoja," he remarked.
"Hauwezi kuniondoa katika mambo ambayo yamefaulu, kama singekueko serikali ya jubilee haingetengenezwa, let us face the truth."

Instead of shouting back, tell us what you did. Also explain to us where the Kimwarar dam billions went. You can’t steal and demand for credit.
Na mambo ya wizi kama pesa za Kimwerer ulipanga na nani. Kumbafu!
You left out the stolen Arrow dams money plus many other projects! Mwizi ni Yule Yule! Arap Mashamba!
King of CORRUPTION has been campaigning 80% of the time
This Ruto man is an evil conniving propagandaist who is borrowing the wrong ‘leaf’ from Donald Trump antics!!! He is a clueless liar who thinks all Kenyans are stupid and blind to what he has been doing for the last 8 years. I am not saying uhuru is perfect, but this cancer called Ruto hinestly has been busy sabotaging his boss from the get go. He openly stole kimwarer arror and the euro bond proceeds and his boss had enough of him on this ‘overstealing’ and he decided to turn a rebel! Shame on this Ruto and I hope karma catches with you!!! What credit are you now claiming fron jubilee development? Nyani wewe, ngiri mkuu!
👍👍
And Ruto will be far worse than Donald Trump if he is elected president! This fool will destroy Kenya like no other president! He is a thieve who has no respect for others!
Ruto must be disarmed if his stole money and put in prison for kenya to be peaceful! This idiotic man is all about himself and no body else! He must not be allowed to lead kenya!
Between Ruto and Raila I will vote Ruto for president. Raila is a hypocrite, ndingihe wakwa Raila maheni moru
Noooooo I couldn’t agree more! Ruto kumi 🇰🇪
Unclever president showed his deputy succession plans too early so he learned he was on his own after betrayal and hit the ground running like Usain bolt. Now he's stuck with dead Jubilee and ageing Raila the socialist
True cause only uhunye anapatanga credit for this humming economy. Looks like almost everybody in Kenya has a probox. Although in our village people are still very poor and living below poverty line, we are very very hopeful gova ya Samoei will give us stimulus and a lot of free money from his personal wealth to help us rise up kama hizo cities zingine. As a matter of fact alikujanga maai mahiu akatwambia si wheelbarrows for us, sisi watu wa maai mahiu ni loans za probox ama 14 seater nissans na itakuwa kama PPP loans za US meaning kama uko na staff and prove that umewalipa 60 months…as in end of his first term, your loans will be forgiven. A man with a big vision si kama ile jamaa ya mikate 🍞 na vitendawili. This is real bottom up economy working for those who have been forgotten na big boys. I know this will elicit negativity mingi lakini hiyo ni ukweli. You can take that to the bank. Anzeni kuhamia maai mahiu wasee wenye mnasomanga mwakilishi 😁
Better buy the toughest rope. Be ready for shock and suicide as your devilish thief Ruto will not even sniff the state house.
Ny’angau wewe. Sijinyongi punda wewe!
Mafi ya mbwa! Shetani! Kino ki!
Ee, kino cha mamako. By the way wacha nikutume kwake…mwambie aoshe kinanuka sana 😞
Wewe unaambiwa ukweri. Punda ni mama yako!! Ushindwe!!! Small brain like a dinosaur!
Njoroge, kwanza wewe ni mjinga kwa kitabu. Si “ukweri” ni ukweli…Karibu. On the latter part of your comment, nilidinya mamako jana na likuwa tu ana moan 😌😌😌
Jambazi
Good God. The real godfather of corruption as we know it is crying about what now????? Give me a break. Wananchi cannot be that stupid to elect one of the most corrupt politician in modern Kenya. Indeed they are stupid. He is promising the world on a platter!!!!!! How immoral?????? God have mercy on us.
Talk to those gullible youths who sees no evil 👿 no Ruto! They will cry with one eye open. Stupidity is the worst form of ignorance!
The other day Ruto told us the jubilee government have failed Kenyans! Which credit is he claiming now? All the failures he has been singing about? Wow, Ruto - very confused!
Ruto is a master piece of deceit! This guy has nothing good for Kenya! He belongs to jail!
@ Rotten:
The current vice president of Kenya
The people of Kenya should demand that Dr. Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto reimburse the treasury the amount of money that he has earned during the last four years. Why?
For those of you who have finished your academic studies and obtained a doctorate, you know how the program is so demanding that you practically have no life until you defend your dissertation.
Dr. Samoei Arap Ruto was able to complete his doctorate while he was a full-time vice president under President Uhuru Ngina Kamau (Kenyatta). He took advantage of Uhuru's polite and kind natured personality and used the state resources to campaign full time and complete his studies.
He (Samoei) is not fit to be the next president of Kenya. To partially compensate the republic, he should take a research or a teaching job at the university of his choice to put into use what he acquired academically during the last four years.
@Imara, he never went to class, he bought his certificate and therefore he is not qualified to teach anyone besides the chicken he keeps. The chicken which 🐔 which earn him Ksh3Million.
@ Mūgīkūyū:
Kumbe! Asante sana Ndugu yangu🤭.
Asante sana Mjumbe wa Bunge wa Nandi Hills kwa kututobolea ukweli juu ya tabia za ajabu za ndugu yetu Samoei Arap Ruto.

Imara why are you stuck playing the same record nonstop ? Politicians are chameleons cutting deals at the top and dining on the cream while walalahoi are fighting and abusing each other. Politicians are like prostitutes both doing transactions at night.
To educate your ignorant ass!
Ruto Waiguru ticket bado utalia
Wee wesley ni ng’ombe 🐄 sana ni nyasi tu hukuli. Mbona utusi crypto?
@ Go Crypto
You are deeply concerned about why I am stuck on playing the same record about the hidden character of Samoei repeatedly! I am concerned about the youth of Kenya who are blindly following a man (Samoei) they hardly know. I am glad a member of parliament from his micro nation (Keter) has been courageous and bold enough to share with us the true nature and his deep understanding of Samoei without mincing words. I would like to challenge his blind followers (especially the youth) whether they really know the true nature of brother Samoei.
1. His career started in 1992 when he was used by the late president (Toroitich) to distribute money for his re-election campaign. His partner in this project was brother Jirongo. They went ahead and printed a five-hundred-shilling note called “Jirongo.” Kenya as a nation has not yet recovered from this currency blunder.
2. He has refused to address the “Kiambaa Holocaust” issue that took place in Eldoret where old men, women, and children were roasted alive when they sought shelter in a place of worship while blindly thinking that the Jewish deity will save and protect them. Can you believe that as the mothers saw the flames intensify in church, they threw their children out and the children were thrown back into the church by the holocaust loyal members of the event! This event happened fourteen (14) years ago and up to the moment, no one has been arrested, prosecuted, or even jailed following these atrocities.
3. He (Samoei) claims to be a follower of the Jewish religion and a strong believer of the Son of Mariam. This is the same man while married impregnated a young college student and for some time refused to acknowledge the act. He must be a hypocrite and a religious con artist.
4. He stole the late Muteshi’s land who later died because of the stress that he encountered following this act!
5. He has used the state resources campaigning nonstop since 2017 and refused to stop even after he was asked by the president of the republic of Kenya.
6. He lives the life of an aristocrat while lying to the nation by calling himself a “hustler.” A hustler is basically a con artist. He should stop using this word immediately.
7. When the whole world is going high tech, Samoei is busy providing wheelbarrows to the ignorant youth as if owning one will solve all their employment problems.
SOLUTION: Chapter 6 of our Constitution should be applied to him and all Kenyans thinking of running for any public elective office and disqualify them permanently when they fail to meet the minimum requirements of our new CONSTITUTION.
I catch ya point loud n clear. Youths are so intoxicated into his doctrine and is likely to be president despite allegations above. Ruto Waiguru ticket will stupefy and hypnotize MT Kenya and women biggie. Anajua kutongoza wapiga kura. Old sleepy Rickety Raila will need lots of help to beat a modern laibon.
The two are the most corrupt thieves in the control bent of Africa - Ruto and Waiguru!
@ole they will say 2 thieves have united but that will be the hottest ticket unlike backward looking Azimio. Corruption allegations will be just politics of kumalizana.
That you are concerned with the youth? The same Kazi kwa vijana? If you are indeed that concerned give us a breakdown of what happened to 15 billion given to your Baba under the banner or guise Kazi kwa Vijana. We have 15 billion unaccounted for here . How much is it for Ruto that is not accountable?
@ Asista:
I am not sure whether you really read my posts well at all. I have been very supportive of Kivutha Kibwana as the only presidential candidate who can resuscitate the Kenyan economy and get rid of the rampant corruption in our beloved country.
The late president of Tanzania brother Kambarage Borito Nyerere once said, “It can be done, play your part.
Imara Daima, well point taken. But again looking at it, your ace is a nonstarter and therefore I think he is of no relevance to our current discussion. Perhaps we wait for his turn to test his couth.
@ Asista:
I would like you to take a break and look up in the Swahili/English dictionary the true meaning of the word "hustler."
According to the "Kamusi ya Kiingereza - Kiswahili Toleo la Tatu" published by the Institute of Kiswahili Studies, University of Dar Es Salaam, the translation of the word "hustler" is as follows:
1. Pwaguzi - skilled cheat
2. Laghai - dishonest person
3. Malaya - prostitute
Is this the kind of a leader that you like to be the head of state of your country?

Thank you Imara! Keep playing this hot mike! Kenyans need to know….!
Ruto is quite ignorant of his politics! He will never be the president of kenya! This guy is foolish! Attacking Uhuru will turn away a lot of voters! Uhuru is an institution and he will galvanize voters against Ruto! Ruto is not found anywhere! He will lose! The only support he can bank on is his few Kalenjins. Watch this space!
This idiot really thinks he deserves praise after 8 tears of looting? Mbwa.
Kuna wajinga wengi humu kenya! They think Ruto is good for them!
