Raila is the Greatest Enemy of Devolution, Ruto Says

Deputy President William Ruto has labeled ODM leader Raila Odinga an enemy of devolution.

Speaking in Makueni County on Wednesday, Ruto termed Odinga as the biggest threat to devolution, claiming that the ODM leader has been extorting some Governors by coercing them to loot funds from counties to fund his campaigns.

Ruto, who is seeking to succeed President Kenyatta, alleged that Odinga demands Sh20 million from each of the governors for the presidential campaigns.

“If someone can ask governors to loot county funds meant to help citizens, is it logical to have the same person be the one to protect devolution?” Ruto posed.

He challenged the governors to expose Odinga for extorting them, saying his actions have affected the provision of key services to the people.

He called on Ukambani residents to rally behind the ‘Kenya Kwanza’ alliance, saying that Odinga lacks a development track record and cannot be entrusted with the country’s leadership.

Ruto was accompanied by ANC party leader Musalia Mudavadi, MPs Victor Munyaka (Machakos), Vincent Musyoka (Mwala), Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata, and former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama.

Supposing this is true, would you rather have a ksh 20 million thief kuliko the ksh 20 billion thief ya Kimwarer and Arror? Think about that! And this is minus the SGR inflated cost aka loot and the Treasury loot.

@Wait look here, we have two leaders running for presidency. Both are blemished but despite that one will be president and a choice has to be made. You can choose to Wait and Wait for the unblemished one or you can show up to vote for the preferable one. You can also choose to lock your door and let others choose for you as you ...Wait The choice is yours.

This man cannot even tout any of accomplishments despite being in government all his adult life. What was his biggest contribution to the lives of ordinary hustlers when he was agriculture minister? Opposition leader loading.

KENYANS HAVE NOT SUFFERED ENOUGH YET.
KENYANS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR FOOLS AND HAVE COME TO ACCEPT IT.
A DOG HAS NEVER BEEN SENT TO CATCH ANOTHER DOG.
THE CURRENT POLITICAL LINEUP FOR 2022 WILL PRODUCE THE SAME RESULTS.
WACHA WAKENYA WAUMIE,EVENTUALLY, WATAAMKA.
BUT, TELLING KENYANS THE TRUTH IS LIKE PLAYING MUSIC TO A GOAT EXPECTING IT TO DANCE.

Comrade Raila Tosha,
My position has always been clear.
With the current LINEUP, nothing will change in KENYA.
The MASSES need to rise up and proclaim what's RIGHTFULLY OURS.
But, with what JOMO planted in KENYA and MOI did even a better job in PERFECTING, it will be the same kind of governance.
What I know is when it comes to CORRUPTION, KENYA is Rotten to the CORE.
BUT, before healing starts, we have to reopen the wound and drain all the pus out. It will be painful, but worth it.

You must not have relatives or own anything to wish chaos in your country. Why don't you go to Ukraine for vacation. And by the way, is this a revolution you will be involved.

Comrade Mugīkūyū,
The invasion of Ukraine by the Russians is just what untamed superpowers do.
Didn't Hitler try this BS years back??
Ukrainians have every right to defend themselves.
Back in KENYA though, FEAR has been used since independence.
I will repeat my what I have said before, HUNGER AND POVERTY KNOWS NO PEACE.
And to your question, Yes.
All I can sense in you is fear.
