"Shame on You": Ruto Tells Uhuru over Impeachment Claims

"Shame on You": Ruto Tells Uhuru over Impeachment Claims

Deputy President William Ruto has dismissed claims that he tried to impeach President Kenyatta after the 2017 general elections.

Speaking in Malindi, Kilifi County on Sunday, Ruto termed the allegations as cheap propaganda aimed at dividing Kenyans, stating that he has never hatched such a plot.

“Ati Ruto anaweza kupindua Rais, mnagawanya wakenya for nothing, wakenya wamekataa project yenu. Ati niweke serikali ndani alafu nifanye njama ya kupinduwa serikali, you must be confusing me with your project,” DP Ruto said on Sunday.

He added: “As deputy president, I know what I must do, I will never, have never, and would never do anything that would bring down the government.”

The deputy president further noted that his competitors have resorted to spreading falsehoods after running out of ideas and realizing that their project (Raila Odinga) has failed.

“Respect those of us who campaigned for Uhuru Kenyatta, you are desperate to spread falsehoods and propaganda. I will never and have never been part of anything to bring down the government, shame on you, you deserve nothing but shame,” he added.

Ruto spoke just a day after President Kenyatta claimed that the deputy president had planned to impeach him and ascend to power through the back door.

Uhuru, who was speaking to a delegation of Kikuyu elders at State House, said this prompted him to reach out to ODM leader Raila Odinga to steady the government and ensure peace and stability.

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 through the back door.

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 and called upon them to mobilize support for the Azimio La Umoja coalition flagbearer.

Anyone who heard what UHURU said knew it was all propaganda, DIRTY cheap politics.
KENYANS aren't that stupid.
UHURU should conduct himself as a statesman. IT'S a SHAME that politicians are stooping this low. But, like I had stated before, this is directly from MOIS playbook.
Spread lies ,repeat lies and have your GOONS repeating them, hoping the MASSES will buy into it.

Comrade Kiprotich wa Sirikwa,
All I said was UHURU is just using cheap lies. I bet common sense dictates that.
LET'S not be so blinded by our hatred of RUTO and RAILA. FACTS WILL REMAIN FACTS.
TRUTH BE TOLD. Both RAILA and RUTO are CORRUPTED as hell, no meaningful change will happen even after election. They dine together but keeps playing mind games with KENYANS.

At times it’s fairly good to have a simple mind of your own. Ruto is a known thief and liar who made every attempt to overthrow the government. You know that but you chose to act stupid and ignorant simple LT because Ruto is now trying to deny the obvious!

Comrade Tony,
My simple mind tells me that RAILA was involved in the attempted coup in 1982.
My simple mind tells me that JOMO was involved in the MURDERS of PIO,MBOYA,JM ETC.
My simple mind tells me that MOI was involved in the MURDERS of OUKO, MUGE and the tortures of nyayo house.
My simple mind tells me UHURUS government was involved in the MURDER of MSANDO.
My simple mind tells me that UHURU and GOONS have raped the KENYAN coffers dry.
My simple mind tells me that UHURU, RAILA , RUTO and goons are recipients of ill gotten gains.
Tony, these are facts, but it's the likes of you who are blind to the facts and truths. Tony, you need to have an independent mind, don't just hear what you want to hear.

Comrade Josh,
I don't know which KENYA you live in.
You are being ignorant to facts.
Do your research.
Please don't be blinded by ignorance and only wanting to hear what you want.
So, out of what or who I have mentioned, then tell us who did.
Maybe, I live in a different KENYA.

Stop attacking a lame duck president.

RAO (or the fifth) will be the one dealing with you squarely, vertically, horizontally and perpendicularly for the the crimes you have committed. By the time he is done with you presidency to you will be a pipe dream.

Uhuru must grow up. A big grown as$ man reporting stuff to mama and baba. Moi taught him politics and his death left him with useless bangi men like murathe and tuju

Ruto can deny all he wants. Starting his campaigns in 2018 gave him away as a power hungry and evil saboteur. And I still don't know why he wastes his spit on a lame duck president. Fortunately he weakens as days go by, notwithstanding his endless camping in the mountain. The marathon is tiring him.

Ruto is being revealed every single day! Its the stolen money that Meru preachers say they want a piece of it! Nice job @Imara Daima. Wezi ni wezi - Ruto is the biggest thief and the most corrupt of every thief.

Ndugu yetu Makamu wa Rais Samoei amefilisha (bankrupted) nchi ya Kenya kwa kupewa ulinzi ambao hakuna makamu wa rais katika historia ya Kenya ambaye amepokea ulinzi wa kiwango cha juu kama yeye!

Hata biashara zake zote zinalindwa na pesa kutoka kwenye kwenye mifuko ya serikali ya Kenya.

Jamani! Tumechoka!

The Truth is the Deputy President has been living double lives and now everything is coming out in the open and the damage will be costly. He should be asked of his double lives he is been living with a big perks government position and stealing from the same government.
I think he thought he was stealing for the President and when the President found out what he was doing he completely turned against him.

Folk, let's not get worked up here because of politicians. That tribe is mischievous and may talk trash about each other but when push comes to shove, they will unite for personal interests. As long as I can go to my butchery in Githurai and sell mitura and matumbo, I don't give a hoot who becomes president. Kenyans can even elect that famous Luo python; Omieri for all I care.

We can't say for sure who is telling the truth. Uhuru is saying this while Ruto is denying. All I can say is the manner in which their relationship disintegrated there some truth on uhuru side. Both Tuju and Murathe mentioned it sometimes back. Also Ruto himself had stated before that Raila reached him first before uhuru. This means there's elements of truth.
