Deputy President William Ruto has declared himself the political kingpin of the Mt Kenya region.
Ruto, who spoke at a public rally in Nyahururu, Laikipia County on Saturday, stated that any other leader looking for votes in the region must talk to him.
The deputy president downplayed ODM leader Raila Odinga’s recent visits to Mt Kenya, terming him as an outsider in the region.
“Kuna watu wamejua leo ati kuna mlima na sasa wameanza kutafta Google map ati ili waanze kupanda mlima, ningetaka kuwaambia kuwa mimi ndiye mwenye mlima,” said Ruto.
He added: “I am welcoming them to the mountain but as they come, let them know that mlima ina wenyeji. When they were away, I made several tours to the region, we built roads and initiated other development projects.”
His allies led by MPs Rigathi Gachagua (Mathira) and Kimani Ichung’wa (Kikuyu) echoed his sentiments, saying that Ruto is the region’s political supremo.
“The tycoons are meeting in Nairobi to auction us. Let them stay with their money and wealth. Ruto owns the votes in the Mt Kenya region so let them continue with their meetings and bring the report to Ruto who has the people and they will make a decision,” said Gachagua.
Ruto further accused Raila of being behind the fallout in the ruling Jubilee party, adding that he stood firmly with President Kenyatta when they were facing charges at the ICC.
“They orchestrated the downfall of Jubilee so that we can go back to tribal parties but we are not going back there, we are the ones who had come up with Jubilee and we have come with our new political vehicle. We are now in UDA, our new political party,” said Ruto.
"When Uhuru needed a friend to stand with him during the ICC cases, I was there for him. The same people who abandoned him then are now his friends.”

Unfortunately facts are very stubborn things! Ruto orchestrated the killing of Kikuyus in the Rift Valley in 2008. He had also killed Kikuyus in 1987, 1992, 1997, etc! Ruto is used to killing kikuyus!
He calls Kikuyus madowadowa (stains) and he asked Sang to go on his vanacular radio to tell kalenjins what Ruto ordered them to do in 2008! For real, to kill Kikuyus and destroy their property in Eldoret!
Ruto also asked the kalenjin women married to Kikuyus to poison them! Kalenjin women responded and poisoned kikuyu husbands - many died but no body talks about those men! That was 2008, the same year Ruto killed your kids by burning them inside a church! We cannot ignore what Ruto has done to kikuyus!
Kenya will not be safe with Ruto as president! Nyahururu is a stone throw to Laikipia where Ruto is killing Kikuyus and burning their homes. Is Ruto real when he lies that he is the Central kingpin!? Who is this Lucifer Ruto lying to??
Why are Kikuyus listening to this murderer who is sponsored by thieves like Rigathi, Waiguru, Nyoro, kihika, Jane Kihara, etc? These dogs are selling the kikuyus because they are all thieves! They couldn’t care about your plight! Your death is their gain before Ruto kills them!
Kikuyus must wake up and stop Ruto on his tracks to destroy our youths and central Kenya! Ruto wants to keep Kikuyus poor so that the kalenjins can have an upper hand on Kikuyus! Only a foolish kikuyu who can’t see what Ruto is doing!
We must fight back hard to keep Ruto from destroying central Kenya. We must also fight all the corrupt Kikuyus acting like wolves lying to us about a dead end economic theories! Since when did a kalenjin advise Kikuyus on matters development, economy, business, education! Building roads, etc? Have the kikuyus lost their mind to follow a killer? We must fight back or we will lose it all!
Wanjema, It would be so unfortunate if a village had just a few people like you! It would be burning down every other time. If you are afraid of thieves, you should start being afraid of the one said to be stealing two billion every day! Not a small fish as Waiguru. And I know they would be darling if they weren’t supporting Ruto.
Ruto did not kill anyone. The presidency leading to the clashes was a disputed election results between Raila and Kibaki. Most of us very well know it was rigged to favor Kibaki.
Ruto’s campaign is not about giving Kalenjins a upper hand more than Kikuyus. What would he stand to gain? It’s just nonsensical!
Joe, I guess it’s Baba who stood with Uhuru during ICC cases!! Or wasn’t he? The clashes happened not because the system had allegedly rigged out Baba. Ruto was not running for president then.
Whether Ruto has or hasn’t been left off ICC hook is inconsequential. Both run for the seats when their case were still active and they won. And if you didn’t know, the ICC case is as dead as a dodo.
The Kenyan political arena is slowly changing from your tribal perspective to true idealism.
This same Ruto was a darling the other day in 2013 after 2008, when he started running with Uhuru. What changed?
Who said they won? This is the type of myopic thinking that’ll ‘kill’ kenya and keep it off economic progress and social stability. To be fair, Raila has been rigged out multiple elections that he won fair and square and that is a fact. If we keep ignoring this fact and assume all is and has been well, we will keep repeating the same mistakes, and consequences will be worse than before! We know many have stolen in Kenya, but Ruto’s level of theft is beyond comprehension! You may take this statement with a grain of salt but he’ll never be the president of kenya! The popular leader voted by majority of kenyans in previous rlections will be voted in again AND with a land slide victory!!!
Kama ni kweli Makamu wa Rais Ndugu Kipchirchr Samoei Arap Ruto alifanya yafuatayo, hastahili kamwe hata kidogo kuwa rais wa nchi ya Kenya mwaka wa 2022 au kwenye siku za usoni:
1. Badala ya kufanya kazi pamoja na Rais Ndugu Uhuru Ngina Kamau (Kenyatta) alichukua wakati wa serikali kumaliza masomo yake ya uzamivu (PhD) na kupata shahada hiyo. Kwa wote waliomaliza shahada hii, nawapa hongera sana kwa sababu inachukua muda mrefu kumaliza masomo, kupita mtihani, kufanya utafiti (research) kuandika tasnifu (dissertation) na kuikinga (defend) mbele ya kamati kuu.
2. Alitumia vifaa vya serikali kama ulinzi, petroli, uegeshaji wa magari (parking), kwenda madarasani, na huku anajiita makamu wa rais!.
3. Kama ni kweli alifanya mapenzi na mwanafunzi wa chuo kikuu na kuzaa naye mtoto na yeye ana mke, na pia kujiita mfuasi wa dini ya Mwana wa Mariamu, tabia kama hii yaonyesha ya kwamba yeye hafai kuwa rais kwa sababu yeye ni mwongo.
4. Alinyakua shamba la marehemu Muteshi baada ya msukosuko wa siasa baada ya uchaguzi wa 2007. Hii ni tabia ya mtu ambaye ni mwizi.
5. Alikataa kuchunguza wote waliohusika na kuwateketeza wanawake, watoto, na wazee (katika kanisa la PCEA la Kiambaa huko Eldoret) waliokwenda kujificha kanisani wakifikiria ya kwamba 'mungu' bandia wa kigeni atawalinda na kuwakinga kutokana na maovu waliyotendewa humo kanisani mpaka sasa imepita karibu miaka 14 tangu janga hilo litendeke na hakuna hata mtu mmoja aliyepelekwa mahakamani na kufungwa!
6. Ameanzisha chama chake cha UDA na huku yungali makamu wa rais wa chama cha Jubilee kilichomchagua awe makamu wa rais. Tabia kama hii ni ya mtu ambaye ni kigeugeu. Kigeugeu hawezi kuaminiwa kuwa rais wa nchi.
7. Yungali akieneza COVID-19 anapofanya mikutano mikubwa ya siasa na huku wafuasi wake hawajavaa barakoa na pia wamesongamana kama nzi. Nakumbuka rais akipinga mikutano ya kisiasa wakati huu wa COVID-19, lakini yeye hasikii hata kidogo. Si yeye peke yake, Ndugu Raila Juma Oginga naye pia anaendelea kusambazi COVID-19 anapofanya mikutano ya kisiasa wakati huu ambapo mikutano kama hii yafaa ipigwe marufuku;.
SULUHISHO:
Kwa vile alitumia wakati wa serikali kumaliza masomo yake ya uzamivu (PhD), jambo lilo bora ni yeye aende kufundisha katika chuo kikuu 2022 kwa muda wa miaka kadhaa, ili airudishie serikali ya Kenya pesa na wakati aliotumia kujiendeleza kimasomo badala ya kuwa makamu wa rais 24/7.
Hata ndugu yetu aliyekuwa Hakimu Mkuu ataanza kufundisha sheria kwenye chuo kikuu cha Kabarak. Ingekuwa bora sana kama wote wawili wangefanya kazi pamoja kwenye chuo kikuu hicho.
Ukisoma kwa makini tena kutoka namba 1 mpaka na 6, utaona ya kwamba Ndugu Samoei hafai hata kidogo kugombea kiti cha urais nchini leo, kesho, au kwenye siku za usoni.
Aliyekuwa Askofu mkuu wa kanisa la Kiangilikana katika mji wa Cape Town, Afrika ya Kusini Ndugu Tutu alisema maneno yafuatayo, " If you are silent in situations of injustice, you have taken the side of the oppressor."
Central Kenya residents, Satan had declared himself to be in charge of Heaven when God the Father tossed the Devil out of Heaven! Satan is always a liar! Ruto is that Satan!
In 2008 , Ruto killed your women and children in the Kiambaa fire massacre! Those who survived Ruto’s killing run for safety in Nyahururu and other parts of central Kenya to seek refuge from the murderous Ruto!
My brother returned to Eldoret in 2010 to see if he could return to his farm in Eldoret after running away in 2008! His car was stoned and arrows shot at him by kalenjins! Ruto did not say anything about it! What makes you think Ruto has changed! I have other family members who run away in 2008 from Eldoret! They have tirelessly been working hard to rebuild their lives in a new places in Central kenya! They have been forgotten!
Those Kikuyus who left farms, houses and business in the Rift Valkey and they have never been allowed to return to their farms! Those farms, homes and businesses are now illegally occupied and owned by the kilenjin people under the instructions of Ruto, Senator Murkomen and MP Sudi! Are these the people you want to head the next government? I think not!
Ruto have said many times that to kill the Kikuyus in 2022, he need the government machinery! It is the reason you are seeing Ruto sweetly courting you to vote for him while speaking the mad language of Adolf Hitler of Germany! He is also want to protect himself from the pending Gicheru ICC case and his case at The Hague!
If you are stupid enough to vote for Ruto in 2022, be prepared to die in large numbers when Ruto becomes the next president. May God have mercy! We must speak out and expose Ruto! He is the wrong fella to be talking about being voted the president of Kenya! The Ruto dictator is telling you stop a vehicle that others have to go through him to talk to you! Please, wake up quickly!
Those hanging around Ruto like Faith Gitau calling herself your good mother are misleading you! Gitau wants to keep her stomach full by being a traitor; she is betraying you like the Ngati did during the colonial time! Gitau is not telling you the truth! She is an old woman (79 years old) who is thinking about her next 5 years she maybe alive! Yours is a long future full of hope! You can’t allow a very old woman to lie to you!
My great grandpa used to say, “The eyelids are a fence, the eye is the black spot, Waica kehiri nowe waisha keruti, the Kikuyus are mine, they can circumcise a fly and put the sheath back on the fly”! This simply means you must have a way to get yourself out of the hole if you deliberately jump in the hole!
Grandpa Mathenge fought with MauMau to bring Uhuru to Kenyans and liberate Kenya! He fought in Abardare Ranges with General Dedan Kimathi! He fought so that the future generations do not make the kind of mistake you are about to make voting for Ruto!
Ruto is the worst hole Kikuyus can fix themselves in! Do not be deceived by a mad man who will turn around and kill everyone of you! Ruto will kill you on a broad daylight!
We have seen Rwanda, Uganda, Sudan, Ethiopia, Nigeria, etc where certain communities have been wrenched to death! Kikuyus, you are no exception!
Be wise! Make your choices wisely! Do not vote for a Devil that will come to finish you and your future generations! Alsi remember Kenya is bigger than Ruto!
@Mathenge, go tell that to the birds. We the Children of maumau understand how the fruits of our fathers cause of freedom was stolen by Kenyatta and many colonial collaborators. Ruto is our 5th and he is here to stay. We at his camp know the whole truth,the real truth and nothing else but the truth. We know the real enemies of Us are the Dynasties who stole our forefathers land for their investment, their Children investments,their grand children investment and quite frankly their entire generation investment. Only time will tell if they will keep that land.

The murderer here is you Mathenge. That’s because if you went to Eldoret today, you will find people from over over Kenya. Especially Kikuyu. And they are happily doing what they do best to keep their families fed. The train left many years ago and am surprised people like you are left out in the cold! You still live with hate and trust me you are not going to grow anytime soon.
All over, we have families, brothers, sisters who have been through tough times of “war”, vicious fighting and at the end of day they come over it.
This same Ruto was a darling the other day when helping make Uhuru president. This was after 2008. You weren’t yapping then. Why now?
You can conglomerate around Ruto all you want, but remember you are looking at a hyena hold a deadly microphone! Ruto will lure you inside a trap and burn you alive! He has done it before and he will do it again! Kikuyus beware!
Foolish man! Let’s be wise and vote intelligently! When will a worth leader stand up?
There will never be a Ruto presidency in Kenya! Win or not win in 2022! We will resist Ruto to the hilt! It does not matter the consequences - we will fight it out!!
Ruto is calling Raila an outsider to Mount Kenya. It is the same way he calls Kikuyus outsiders in the rift valley and Laikipia! Ruto causes war every place he calls others outsiders. Ruto is using a coded language similar to 2008 madowadowa which cause many Kikuyus to die in 2008! Ruto must be closely checked!
The reason Uhuru went to The Hague is simply because Ruto started the killings of Kikuyus and Uhuru step
In to stop Ruto from killing more of the Kikuyus!
Without Uhuru stopping this monster, Ruto was determined to kill all the Kikuyus in the Rift Valley valley and central Kenya!
Ruto raped rigathi’s mother and that is how Rigathi was conceived snd born! So we have a father and son misleading you!
Ngai baba! Did you say Ruto raped Rigathi's mother and that is how he was conceived? I have always seen an uncanny resemblance between those two politicians. Now I know why and thank you for the information.
Who cares one tribe WILL NOT take you to statehouse .If anything any serious presidential aspirant should avoid these people willing to sell their vote to the highest bidder.They have shown their true colors time and again.A rolling stone gathers no moss
Ruto,
The purpose of the mountain is spiritual first not political.
If you say you own the mountain, you must do some soul searching first.
For those leaders with issues, the mountain will be very slippery and therefore very difficult to climb.
We wish you all the best, but the mountain can only be climbed by those who humble themselves.
It is time for change of season.
It's too early to claim victory over the mountain.
We should patiently wait for the leadership verdict. It's on the horizon.
Rigathi and Ichungwa are two characters the central Kenya residents would not call upon to speak on our behave! The sentiments they have expressed here are personal in nature based on the ulterior motives they have carried for supporting a thief!
Both these men have been accused of stealing public funds to the tune of billions! Therefore, their allegiance to Ruto is simply based on one thief supporting a fellow thief!
The people of central Kenya want to categorically disown the two thieves, and are far much better than the two thieves claiming to represent us! Those who have stolen from us can never speak on our behave!
The Mount Kenya residents publicly deny them for supporting a thief! Their views are not intertwined with our general views! As a matter of facts and principle, they are wrong to say the least!
Amazing how this political scenario is playing out. Ruto supported Uhuru twice in the general elections. In the second term of Uhuru's presidency Uhuru and Ruto do not get along for some reason. That is when the hand shake came about. The people who voted for Uhuru and Ruto are still with Ruto both in the Rift valley and in the Mt Kenya region. At first it seemed the duo had reconciled following the bitter and gruesome
ethnic clashes of 2007 and 2008 where the world watched as women and children were torched in a church in kiambaa near Eldoret. The great enigma is how is it that the majority of the youth in Mt Kenya are fully behind Ruto. Is it because he has money and wheel barrows to dish out to the poor? Or is it because the Mt Kenya youth are returning a favor? Beats me. My only wish is for the country to maintain peace especially during the up coming elections in 2022. I Wish Raila would win so as to give a more balanced presidential rotation. The loser, whoever it is should concede gracefully.
New King of the Mountains. If Raila is running which I doubt. I'm informed his foreign docs have told him to avoid much activity so Ruto remains the only real threat to the rest. The Mombasa raha man Kituyi might be Raila candidate. Can he beat Ruto? Not likely. Secret to more mount votes is Waiguru deputize Ruto
Ha ha okay chui , ati kii?
Who wait rails as the president? Look at our current confused president only elected because the ukuyus wanted a ukuyu president. I bet ruto may be better off as a central leader than confused unyatta. Poor choices of recycled and confused leaders.
KISWAHILI: Nakuomba uwache kusambaza COVID-19 na mikutano yako mikubwa ambayo wanaohudhuria hawahitajiwi kuwa wamevaa barakoa.
ENGLISH: I kindly request that you stop spreading COVID-19 especially when you hold large meetings and your participants are not required to have face masks.
In my view: Like many people have always repeated. What the mountain really wants is; 1) Peace among the Tribes and 2) Good Economic Development in Kenya. Those that are the best advocates for these two key interests will win out the contest. These interests are shared by all Kenyans.
Nwaombeni Ndugu Raila Juma Oginga na Makamu wa Rais Ndugu Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto msikilize ujumbe muhimu sana kutoka kwa Rais wetu, Ndugu Uhuru Ngina Kamau (Kenyatta) alivyosema leo kuhusu mambo ya siasa kila wakati badala ya kufanya kazi.
Ruto: Three things: 1. When did you become a Mt. Kenya kingpin? I thought you were made a Kalenjin King the other day. Pride is the sure thing to a downfall. 2. RAO did not wreck Jubilee, you did. You formed another party to deal a death blow to Jubilee. 3. You didn’t stand with Uhuru during ICC case. You were actually one of the accused with genocide. You have not been let off the hook. Witnesses against you were bribed, some even disappeared. Before you make any claims of owning the mountain, explain to them why you instigated tribal clashes to drive them out of the Rift Valley. Do not think the Gema guys are stupid. Do not think wheelbarrows will win you the vote. Everyone one vying for the presidency has the right to do campaigns in the Mountain with or without any consultation from you. You are a candidate just like anyone else. You will be surprised when the Mountain erupts into a volcano turns to the one who is their choice. You are one of many. Do not brag.
