Jubilee vice-chairman David Murathe has revealed what he thinks led to the fallout between President Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto.
Murathe, who spoke during an interview on Inooro TV on Sunday, claimed that Ruto was heard describing Uhuru as a drunkard in the run-up to the August 2017 elections.
He alleged that Ruto’s speech, which was made in Kalenjin dialect during the funeral of politician Mark Too in January 2017, was relayed to Uhuru by State intelligence agents.
“There is a day Ruto spoke in his native language and told his supporters to vote for Uhuru because as he drinks, ‘I will be running the government’,” Murathe claimed.
He added: “It was during the funeral of the late Mark Too. The government always has a way of knowing some of these things. I suspect that was one of the reasons Uhuru decided to sideline Ruto was this statement.”
Murathe also accused Ruto of insulting the President during his interview with Citizen TV last week, where he alleged that the ruling party is run by “drunkards.”
“He should stop hiding behind us (officials). He is the deputy party leader and above him is the party leader, there are a number of officials who are above me so when he insults people like Murathe, how can a vice-chairman be calling the shots, those insults are directed at someone else,” added Murathe.
During the interview, Ruto stated that he would never allow his deputy to be humiliated the way Uhuru has allowed junior government officials to disrespect him.
“It is a regrettable situation. Given an opportunity, I will not allow my DP to be humiliated the way former DPs have been humiliated and the way I have been humiliated. I will not allow it,” said Ruto.

Truth hurts, always. If Ruto said that, he was only echoing what everyone was saying. Uhuru needs to man up and stop treating Ruto like mpango wa kando- ignored and only acknowledged when needed. Ruto stuck by him when most were baying for his blood.
Ya, Ruto stuck with Uhuru with hideous ulterior motives! Ruto ni Munyama!
I thought Murathe would say never comes up on national television drunk. He is putting words in Ruto's mouth. We see him drunk.
I heard Ruto say Uhuru is a drunkard in his mother tongue! Ruto knows he said it on several occasions!
But did Ruto lie??? Hell no.
Someone’s drinking is none of Ruto ugly teeth business! Don’t go talking dirty about those who like to drink because you can’t afford it and you hide in fake religious practices! Why is Keroche and Kenya Breweries operating here in Kenya? So we can enjoy our locally made brews! Can someone tell Ruto to shut his dirty mouth and stop gossiping about Uhuru! Punda mulia.
Weed will resolve all this NASTINESS drunk not drunk just legalise weed for all
Uhuru has a drinking problem that is no secret it probably has gotten much worse now considering he looks like a pregnant man with red eyes.As a side note gossipping is not exclusive to Kalenjin men all human beings do it.
Gossiping is worse in kalenjin men and can not even be compared with luo men! There are no real men in kalenjin community. They gossip far worse than their ugly women.
They all behave like little toddlers, very untrustworthy and corrupt! Even moi himself used to gossip! All the reasons Ruto gossips like a little bitch! Very worthless creature not to be trusted with the secrets of a country! Yeye kubafu!
Ruto all the way to presidency 2022.The guy is the only one to beat n he has made many men with balls loose sleep like stupid murathe.Watch this space huslers nations will die with Ruto 2022 instead of dynasties Rao/Uhuru.Yes Ruto is not perfect but he is way way beta off than the poverty stricken/economic sabotage/every election looser/killer the lake side man.
Damn you asshole! Ruto will sell Kenya and depart to live in Saudi Arabia since no European country wants him because of many people he murdered in 2007! The Hague is closely watching your buddy @ halisi! Stop using the good Kenya’s name in vain! Mkenya wa espionage!?
Who can believe what Meth Murathe Muratina says. He's always drunk on TV. Who doesn't know Uhuru is alcoholic and puffy. His brother Raila said Asubuhi weed Asubuhi pombe.
Tsk, Tsk, Tsk! Good lord! This post started off on Ruto's alleged comment about Uhuru and it has turned to ukabila insult posts. Black lives matter, we chant united in grief. Yes, it does, yet we continue to mirror the hatred amongst us. How about looking in the mirror and reminding ourselves that charity begins at home? All kabilas matter, how about that?! If Uhuru stands accused of smoking weed ama pombe, you lot have driven him to it! Wacha avute/anywe na aoge nayo. Hamna aibu and you call yourselves the educated generation! Hamna!
I don’t doubt Ruto said whatever he is accused of backbiting! Kalenjin men are like Ihii (uncircumcised lads)!
They gossip worse than menstrating backing dogs! No one can trust none of them! Their insecurity is humongous! They like to have a doctor feel good moment by backbiting others!
Ruto is a stupid idiot! He is not mature at all!
