President Ruto to Raila: Stop Chaos and Prepare for 2027 Elections
President Ruto has told Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition leader Raila Odinga to start preparing for the 2027 election instead of organizing chaos and protests.
Insisting that he will still defeat Odinga hands down, Ruto stated that demonstrations would not change the fact that he was declared the duly elected president of Kenya.
Speaking on Thursday in Kitutu Masaba, Nyamira County where he kicked off a three-day visit of the Gusii region, the president said the institutions mandated to determine electoral matters, including the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the Supreme Court, fully discharged their roles.
"It is not the supposed invented whistle-blower who decides who wins elections. The institutions that have that mandate declared me duly elected President," he said.
He called on Odinga and the opposition to halt their destructive protests and give him time to deliver on electoral pledges and transform the country.
“I have a duty to protect the rights of all Kenyans from all threats. I have an obligation to the business owners in various parts of the country whose premises were looted and destroyed by protesters mobilized by reckless and irresponsible politicians,” he said.
Ruto also reiterated his commitment to work with all elected leaders, irrespective of their political affiliations, to advance the country's development agenda for the benefit of the people.
"The election ended and Kenyans decided who their President is. They should give me space to transform Kenya, create jobs for the youth, empower our farmers to produce more food so that we can eradicate hunger," he said.

The Rao now calling for boycott on certain companies that are beneficial to the wananchi & the government(tax). ..Now we know who's the devil 👿😈 in the room!...
Samoei:
You campaigned for five years non-stop while receiving all the benefits that go along with being a Vice President.
Stop your POEMS ( Practitioner Of Endless Multiple Standards). Prepare to vacate the office of the Kenyan presidency come 2027.
Samoei and Rigathi:
The late British historian Lord Acton once said: "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority."
Lying as usual.
Kalejinga.
Hear, hear...At last Kenya has a REAL man at the helm. Ten years for Ruto, then ten years for Gachieth.
@ Mutuura Mwangi:
Unaota ndoto.
Imara simamia hiyo statement imara. Wake up from lalaland with your agwambo dreams. Ruto was a Moi student. Moi ruled for 24 years and yes he stole in broad daylight, Ruto will steal using technology. 2027 and years ahead has already been stolen by those thugs. Hapa Mai Mahiu Kenya si kaa huko kwenu majuu. By the way niwekee kakitu kwa mpesa hapa ni kubaya sana 😉
I pity you1 Why? If you used "Critical Thinking Skills," you should have read by now that I neither support Samoei nor Raila.
Had Wafula Chebukati read Chapter Six of our New Constitution, he would have disqualified both candidates from running for the presidency of Kenya in 2022.
For your information, Kenya is my home. My mother shed her blood during the struggle for Kenyan independence.

Niwaigua?
Kenyans should protect themselves.
A bandit like Ruto cannot be trusted.
