Mimi Sishindani Na Wewe: Ruto Fires Back at President Uhuru

Mimi Sishindani Na Wewe: Ruto Fires Back at President Uhuru

Deputy President William Ruto has fired back at President Kenyatta after he accused him of hoodwinking Kenyans with empty promises ahead of the August 9th general elections.

Speaking during the Ushirika Day Celebrations at KICC on Saturday, Kenyatta slammed Ruto for attacking the same government he is part of, adding that he abandoned his duties as the deputy president to engage in premature campaigns.

“I am really saddened when I see some people ever complaining about the failures of the government… All we are hearing is we will do this and that, why didn’t you do it while you were in a similar position?” Uhuru posed.

He added: “Someone who has been given a task to serve the country, instead of performing his role, he is just busy making noise here and there.”

But in a rejoinder, Ruto asked the president to steer clear of his succession politics and allow him to face off with the Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition party presidential candidate Raila Odinga in the upcoming elections.

“When you needed a friend to stand with you, I stood with you. Raila never stood with you, Martha Karua never stood with you, I am not asking for you to support me, I am asking you to give me space so that I can deal with Raila,” stated Ruto.

“I am asking my brother Uhuru Kenyatta, mimi sishindani na wewe my friend, mimi nashindanda na Raila, wewe simama kando. I want Uhuru Kenyatta to step aside, huyo Raila nitammalizia asubuhi na mapema.”

At the same time, the UDA party presidential flagbearer dismissed reports published in a local daily claiming that he would investigate and prosecute President Kenyatta should he ascend to power.

“We are the ones who voted for Uhuru Kenyatta. We voted for him na hakuna mtu atamfuata, hakuna mtu atamfanya chochote, tunamheshimu kama kiongozi ambaye anaenda kuretire,” Ruto said.

“He is trying to correct me, but I’m telling my brother, you told me you wanted to work with the others, if they have failed, what are you blaming me for? When I stepped aside, the Big Four collapsed.”

    Who asked you ndomo kubwa who you are competing with Ruto? Perception matter greatly in politics. Yours perception Ruto is that of a very corrupt guy and a thief. You ain’t Micheal Anglo wewe! Shut your damn stinking mouth Ruto!

    When Uhuru needed a shoulder to lean on, Ruto was there, Raila was fighting Uhuru. Prof Mutua has never accepted Uhuru as the President. RAO has not recanted his self-administered oath of office.

    Ruto has never offered a leaning shoulder for Uhuru even Racheal can confirm that fact. This man cheated on Racheal and sired a kid out of wedlock. What a low blow?

    Everything Ruto does is transactional at best. He only thought he would swindle Uhuru but the President was way ahead of Ruto’s shady games.

    Do don’t come lying to us that Ruto had good intentions supporting Uhuru @imkoogogo; and what freaking name it is?

    Look at this foolish DP Ruto just talking to himself out of his crazy mental faculties. Talk to Prof Wajackoyah who is now your political match. You will lose bigly Ruto.

    Wewe Ruto unashidana na Nani? Wajackoyah?? That’s your level Sir!…

    Ruto is deeply consumed by anger and lots of bitterness toward the whole world. His bitterness cause him to start planning to assassinate president Uhuru Kenyatta.

    Everything Ruto says is just like a bitter pill that keeps eating his internals. There is no a presidential material in Ruto. He is best positioned to be a huge conman and a colossal thief.

    Stop whining telling us what to do with your useless manifesto. It is out there to be criticized by any body because it does not add up. You cant jam up crap together and then call it a ‘hustler’ manifesto which makes no sense.

    Every Uhuru has called you Ruto out for telling a bunch of lies with you fellow UDAku thieves. Don’t you think we see that nonsense Ruto?

    I could have written a far much better manifesto that what you put out there to deceive us.

    Wacha ukubafu WSR! Shetani amemuteka nyala! You lie too much Ruto.

  9. BobJul 3, 2022

    Wewe Ruto, unashindana na Nani? Stop talking too much to lose more votes as no body cares for you and Rigathi. Kenyans can give the country to the dogs….

    Mtu yeyote atakayempigia Ndugu Samoei kura, hastahili heshima yoyote. Kwa nini?
    Samoei anamdharau rais wa nchi katika nchi ya Kenya na pia nje ya nchi ya Kenya.
    Yafaa Samoei na Raila wampigie magoti Rais wa sasa wa nchi ya Kenya kwa sababu wakati Raila alipoapishwa kuwa rais wa watu wa nchi ya Kenya, naye Samoei kutumia mali ya umma kujijenga binafsi na huku analindwa na serikali pamoja na mali yake yote, wote wawili wangekuwa katika Jela ya Kamiti, huku wamefungwa kifungo cha maisha au kunyongwa.
    Wote wawili hawafai kuwa rais wa nchi ya Kenya.
    Ningependa kuwauliza “wafuasi kondoo” wa Samoei wamwuulize kwa nini mpaka sasa Samoei hajaomba msamaha kwa kuwachomea wazee, watoto, na akina mama katika kanisa la Kiambaa huko Eldoret yapata zaidi ya miaka 14 iliyopita! Watoto walikuwa wamkosea kwa njia gani? Je, wafuasi kondoo wanajua janga hilo la Kiambaa? Kwa nini ameendelea kutoa pesa katika makanisa mengine kabla hajajenga kanisa la Kiambaa?

    Nina swali moja tu ambalo ningependa kukuuliza Ndugu Ruto: Je, ukiwa rais wa Kenya halafu makamu wa rais akufanyie maajabu uliyomfanyia Rais Uhuru Ngina Kamau, ungemfanyia makamu wako vitendo gani?
    Ningependa kukuambia wazi ya kwamba, wewe hufai hata kidogo kuwa rais wa Kenya🤭.

    Ruto is not a disciplined politician because every time Uhuru throws him a piece of red meat as a trap, Ruto gets caught up in the fray so easily.

    Ruto cannot be a good president because he has such a thin skin that even a toddler can prick with a soft toe nail.

    Ruto does not have the necessary qualities required of a leader, let alone those qualities a president should possess.
