President Uhuru Says Ruto Hatched a Plan to Impeach Him

President Uhuru Says Ruto Hatched a Plan to Impeach Him

President Kenyatta has finally explained what led to his fallout with Deputy President William Ruto.

Kenyatta spoke during a meeting with a delegation of 3,000 Gikuyu elders and a section of political leaders from Mt Kenya at State House, Nairobi on Saturday.

The Standard reports that the president cited Ruto’s insatiable appetite for power, impatience, and sabotage as the root cause of their strained relationship and eventual fallout.

Kenyatta reportedly told the elders that Ruto unsuccessfully hatched a plot to remove him from office through impeachment and sabotage. 

The deputy president’s greed for power, Kenyatta added, led him to create dissent within the ruling Jubilee Party in a wider plan intended to oust him.

“The president informed us that Ruto was going behind his back, planning how he could close ranks with Raila to impeach him at an appropriate time,” Mathioya MP Peter Kimari told The Standard.

It is for this reason that Kenyatta reached out to his arch-rival Raila Odinga to steady the government and ensure peace and stability in the wake of the acrimonious 2017 general elections.

Kenyatta pointed out that his handshake with Odinga deflated what he termed as Ruto's grand plan to sabotage his administration and ascend to power via unorthodox means.

While describing the deputy president as an impatient leader whose sole focus is to ascend to power by all means, Uhuru told the elders that Odinga is his preferred successor.

He called upon the elders to mobilize support for 77-year-old Odinga, who is giving his fifth stab at the presidency under the Azimio La Umoja coalition.

It has always been known that DP Ruto was busy betraying President Uhuru with a hope to have him impeached. Ruto is a cane icing dog and should never be trusted with power. He is too greedy and always has a mindset to do evil.

No wonder Ruto has been so bitter because Uhuru conscripted Raila into the government to defeat Ruto’s impeachment plan. Shindwe Shetani yeye Ruto!

And Ruto comes here to lie that he supported the president while he was planning to have him impeached so he can raise to the presidency! Ruto must be a mentally sick dude.

Ruto must be kicked back to Surgoi to wait for his ICC jail term there.

This is treasonous and this fella ought to be prosecuted immediately. He looted and looted then wanted to grab power. Let the fifth,(RAO) be sworn in then he can be dealt with accordingly... hopefully, because someone in judiciary ought to be doing their job!

DO Euto engineered and sponsored the Westgate Mall terror attacks to make Uhuru look incapable of providing security to Kenyans. Ruto has betrayed Kenyans to the core.

Ruto is the king of ethnic divisions in kenya. He divides other tribes among themselves while keeping the Kalenjin tribe closest to his chest. Anyone with eyes could see that Ruto was working hard to have Uhuru impeached. Shame on Ruto for lying..

Ruto feels jilted by Uhuru because he knows Uhuru upstaged him in his scheming plan to have Uhuru impeached. Surely what a DP?

This failed desperado president is trying to sell his project in the mountain.. He is concocting lies and propaganda by the day while addressing tribal outfits tumbocrats. He has gone mad since things are not working the way he wants. Why not call a press conference using the lingua Franca of the common mwananchi? This has already failed flat and as it should and it should be consigned to the trash can. He is not talking about the issues that matter such as high cost of living, murder and mayhem in the country ( Baringo, Laikipia, Lamu). Let the best candidate win in a free, fair, and credible election. Bure Kabisa!

POLITICS IS A DIRTY GAME.
I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT UHURU IS SAYING.
WHICH POLITICIANS WERE READY TO IMPEACH UHURU?
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS UHURU JUST SPOKE ABOUT IT?
THIS IS FROM MOIS PLAY BOOK. LIE LIE AND LIE SOME MORE TO MAKE RUTO LOOK BAD. I'M NOT TRYING TO SUPPORT RUTO, BUT UHURU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THE FACTS.
UHURU WACHA UOGO.
PLEASE LET RAILA AND RUTO SQUARE IT OUT ALONE, YOUR TERM IS ALMOST OVER. WITH THE CURRENT HEALTH OF THE ECONOMY, UHURU YOU HAVE REALLY SCREWED KENYANS UP.
BUT NGAI WA KIRINYAGA AIN'T ASLEEP, HYENAS WILL PAY ONE DAY, AND THAT DAY IS COMING.

I’m still voting for Ruto as the lessor of the 2 evils. I don’t even care about Kenyatta and I would not have voted for him as a president as he is clueless how to be a leader. He can sense andu a nyumba are not paying him no mind no matter who he use to expose ruto. Matiangi tried and exposed ruto though he failed to expose others hence there was no effect. Muti/kura ni yakwa it does not belong to those mount Kenya so called saints by Kenyatta but I call them hiti/hyaenas as what they do to there fellow poor mount Kenya people is worse. Look at water in central Kenya for an example and see how this elites control it. Bure kabisa

This president has sunk himself into oblivion and fallacy. Upto this point, where he whispers such would be matters of national importance at the corridors of state house, and only to few members of his community leaves a lot to be desired. He knows what is is saying is bogus, lies and imaginary tale.
He claims to have her given this information by Raila himself. Really? And he believes it? It’s not even from the country’s intelligence? And it’s coming out at the height of election campaign period from the opponent?
We all remember the desperation Raila had in 2017/18 to an extent of swearing himself in. In fact if someone of Ruto statue had approached him to join him in messing up Uhurus government, I bet he couldn’t have resisted.
We know Sagana lies failed miserably. And these folks went back on a drawing board with the brains of Murathe. And that’s the shenanigans we are being told .
Uhuru has said severally that he brought Raila in for the sake of peace and today we are being treated to a different story.
Lies catches up. You forget what lie you said yesterday.

Some thing is amiss here folks. If what Uhuru is saying it true, how could Ruto hatch such a grandiose plan within the government and still continue to serve his full term? What exactly was Ruto alleging as the basis for impeachment?I am sure abuse of power would have been on his mind,but such abroad allegation would go no where. Just about all african leaders a guilty of that.
The public especially the voters have a right to be given facts and truths that back up what some of our leaders' claims and allegations.This is how the voters get informed and cast their votes for the right candidate.Well at least in theory...
It should be unlawful for political leaders make unsustanciated claims...

Comrade Maxiley,
This is worse than hate crime.This is how ETHNIC CLEANSING was started by MOI, using lies. Like I had stated before, we better brace for the worst fights after or even during this election.

Uhuru has become a disgrace and an embarrassment to those of us who wasted time queuing to vote him in. Little did we imagine that we were voting in a future ODM youth winger for that's what he has chosen to be. His utterances are painful to listen to and he continues to alienate us with every word that spews out his mouth. He's not helping Raila to get support in Mt Kenya, rather the opposite is happening. Raila really does not need Uhuru, he did quite well in 07 and '13. Uhuru could be helpful if he resorted to a more gentlemanly conduct and stop parroting these cheap lies about a man whom we know performed 99 percent of the work needed for their success in 2013.
