Deputy President William Ruto Attacks Raila in a Tweet

Deputy President William Ruto has taken it to Twitter to lash out at National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential candidate Raila Odinga over his renewed onslaught on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

In a tweet, DP Ruto wondered when the Orange Democratic Movement leader will accept that he lost the election a stop "blackmailing Kenyans."

“For how long will one man, unable to win elections, continue to blackmail 45m Kenyans using threats of violence, chaos, bloodshed and anarchy,” read Ruto’s tweet.

The DP defended the the electoral commission, saying the body is protected by the Constitution. Ruto added that no one should threaten the IEBC commissioners in any way or form.

“Every kenyan,those at IEBC included have the protection of the Constitution. Nobody,however mighty ,should threaten them in any way or form,” stated Ruto.

In a press briefing earlier in the day, Raila accused Ruto of being behind the squabbles that have befallen the election following the nullified presidential election.

The former Prime Minister wondered why Kenyans would have faith in IEBC as currently constituted to conduct another poll.

Speaking during a press briefing at Panari Hotel, Raila claimed that the IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba colluded with Mr Ruto to bungle last month's poll.

"Why should Kenya trust these institutions? Is it because the IEBC went to a retreat and buried their hatchet? Is it because Safran gave itself a clean of bill? Is it because IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba answered the Chebukati memo and gave it to DP William Ruto?" asked Raila.

Raila further accused French Firm, Safran Morpho which provided IT services of engaging in scheme with IEBC officials to manipulate the August 8th.

Lie low like an enevelope. You know that if Uhuru is not relected your are finished. There is no way Kenyans will elect you as president in 2022 there are very many Young capable Young turks who have come up and the race continues to get crowded as the date approaches. Kenyans have refused to have more of the same that is IEBC needs a complete overhaul the errors pointed out by the Supreme court need to be addressed before another election is held. Do not try to bring back the dictatorship days of your kin kina Biwott and Moi. Koma na hizo matusi yako na haraka wakenya si mihogo kupangwa na kupelekwa sokoni na kamba bandia.

I applaud you deputy president. Anonymous its more than you know. You may want to watch al-jazeera and find out the nasty coup that has been planned by NASA since 2013. I was Raila supported however he is not for peace his financiers have for any means necessary at the cost of common Mwananchi. I wish there was a way to make with our neighbors and know that there comes a time the country is bigger than two individuals. Its a shame we could even have a thought to consider this Senile geriatric Raila Amollo Odinga

Ruto, you have been named as a co-conspirator in the stealing of last Nov 8th. election so you should be worried about going to prison after you loose the next election and remember you will not be pardoned.

@D mwose: I consider you a radical. Your "goddess" not God is trying to overthrow the government again like he did in 1982 and you are here applauding. When Kenyans begin to die because of actions of your goddess, let me hear you celebrate then.

D. Mwose, named by who. Do you people even know how foolish you look when you believe and quote every lie your desperate devil of a man utters. Raila is a certified demon and the sooner his demon creator calls him back the better Kenya will be.
