Ruto: I Won’t Have a Handshake with Raila If I Become President

Deputy President William Ruto says he will not have a handshake with his main competitor Raila Odinga if he trounces him in the August 9th presidential contest.

Ruto, who is eyeing the presidency on a UDA party ticket, claimed that Odinga has a habit of forcing his way into government, citing his March 9th, 2018 handshake with President Kenyatta.

“I have told him that there is no uprooting of railway lines this time. There will be no swearing himself in as president. We will ensure he goes to Bondo if he disturbs the peace,” Ruto said during a campaign tour of Turkana County.

 “You threatened people in 2017 and thought there would be no elections. After you boycotted the election, you blackmailed your way into the handshake government. That was the end of the blackmail, threats and games you have played.”

The deputy president said the recent threat by the Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya Coalition party presidential flagbearer to boycott the upcoming elections if the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) does not use the manual voter register is part of a scheme to force his way into the next government.

“If he has realized that he has no numbers and the deep state is not helping him, let him desist from threats. Kenyans will elect their leaders next month, whether he likes or not. I will not let him issue threats or ultimatums because Kenya belongs to us all. I assure Kenyans that we will have a peaceful election,” Ruto added.

Ruto further vowed that if he ascends to power, he will deal with Odinga, 77, to ensure he does not hold demonstrations across the country.

Ndugu Samoei:
Unatuambia kila wakati ya kwamba, wewe ni mfuasi wa ile dini iliyoanzishwa na Myahudi aliyeuawa na Wayahudi wenzake alipoungana na wakoloni ambao walikuwa Warumi (Romans) ambao waliwatawala Wayahudi na pia mataifa mengine kwa njia mbaya sana.
Wakati mwana wa Mariamu alipowaambia Wayahudi wenzakr wamtolee Kaisari (Caesar) kodi, ndipo Wayahudi walipomwona kama adui wa Wayahudi wenzake🤭
Kulingana na utafiti niliofanya na pia kuzungumza na Wayahudi wenyewe, inaonekana dhahiri ya kwamba,Wayahudi walikuwa wakitafuta mwokozi atakayewakomboa kutokana na utawala mbaya sana wa Warumi.
Mwana Mariamu (ambaye jina lake la kuzaliwa halijulikani) aliposema Wayahudi wamtolee Kaisari kodi, waliamua ya kwamba anastahili kuuawa. Wayahudi hawakuwa wakimngojea mwokozi wa kiroho, walikuwa wakimtarajia mwokozi wa kuwaokoa kisiasa kutokana na utawala wa kinyama wa Kirumi.
Swali langu ni moja kwako: Kwa nini mpaka sasa hujajishughulisha kuwanasa wote waliowachomea watoto, wazee, na akina mama katika kanisa la Kiambaa huko Eldoret?
Imepita zaidi ya miaka 14 tangu janga hili litendeke! Unangoja nini? Wetereire ki?

Ruto - I can tell you for certain that you won’t become president in August 2022, and you will never become Kenyans president! You do not have the golden nugget necessary to be a president.

You ain’t that important to think a hand shake is all about yourself Ruto. Your mama never taught and mannered you well in the early stages of childhood.

There is something that is very important that you missed in your childhood. Unfortunately, kenya is not the one to breast feed what you missed as a toddler now in your old age.

What time is it? It’s time for you to start packing and head on to Surgoi. Kenyans are tired of your nonsense buddy.

You will have a hand shake with the ICC jail convicts pretty soon. Raila does not want to shake hands with a convict. Kwenda huko wewe Shetani.

Ruto - Of course you won’t shake hands for the sake of peace because you are blood thirsty. You are just a ruthless selfish politician without any leadership skills.

Mathenge (not verified)     Sun, 07/10/2022 @ 01:16pm

Shut your damn mouth Ruto. It’s known you would rather have Kenyans die as you illegitimately beholden on power. It’s the reason you will never be president in kenya.

There is a huge difference between being a politician and being a leader. You have a big deficit what it comes to being a leader.

Ruto, aspire for peace. That is all we want. You keep stirring the hornets nest; not fair to the voters. Focus on selling your agenda to the Kenyans. Maneno maneno hatutaki.

Ruto wants power at all costs. He does not care how kenya turns out as long as he is on the top seat. His view of being a president is reflected by the women and children he caused to died in 2007. He burned them alive and now he thinks we have forgotten everything.

Ruto will use power the wrong way to make sure more Kenyans are killed. He is more interested in grabbing poor peoples pieces of land and emptying the treasury.

Kenyans must fully understand what all this means to them about Ruto. He is a monster in making. A Hitler type of cartoon character. Ruto is the wrong guy to be the next president. He really thinks he owns kenya; doesn’t he?

Ruto - you need Raila more than he needs you. You can shake hands with your UDAku thieves. Depo in my heart, you will lose to Raila by 10 AM on the 9 August 2022.

Ruto be careful about running your mouth about dealing with Raila because you still got cases at The Hague and it is likely ICC will issue arrest warranty orders to have you taken directly to ICC.

It is Raila who will determine how your arrest will take place because there a much higher chance that Raila will be the next president in the Republic of Kenya. Talk is very cheap Ruto.

Ruto is very indisciplined in the way he handles situations. Very erratic type of politician. Ruto reminds me of Idi Amin of Uganda. Everything he does is all about him.

Huyu Mtu wa kofi is short tempered, power hungry, a very corrupt land grabber who is also caught up in money laundering with his Nigerian relatives. Of course Ruto wants the presidency so bad to use that power to benefit himself. Kenyans beware and watch out.

I don't mind a handshake to tame a power hungry blood thirsty old man if that means Peace. Luckily he's getting old and tired for street protest

Church is a house of refugee and except for jihadist NO ONE enters into a church to kill or remove those who go to look for refuge in the house of God . even evil trump did not send police to get out the illegals who went to hide in the church not even Ted cruiz in texas . why did you have to have those who went to seek a place to hide to avoid being murdered ? what did they do to you. Kenyans think about the person you want to put over your heads . he has no godliness he is lying lie after lie. and if you think he will change you are fools . He cried when they won first time and what did he do after he forgot so many he had their land taken away in the rift valley are squatters those guys had sold their small parcels of land to buy bigger land in the Riftvally settlement schemes .They bought that land when Kenya became independent and freedom of expansion was granted unlike during the colonial days. do those who lost their land have to wear sacks and paint themselves with ashes to proof to you voters that you are making the worst choice if you vote for Ruto and by the way who told him Raila would want to shake his hand?

Ruto’s satanic demons keep him so tormented to a point he has started thinking how he could shake hands with Raila to earn protection for draining our coffers and for killing women and toddlers inside the house of God.

Ruto is telling Kenyans what he should do to save himself when he loses the elections. He know for sure that he is bound to lose this August 2022.

Ruto will never be at peace with himself because his life is characterized by crimes of passion, corruption, graft, theft and many insecurities.

Ruto - “I will not have a handshake”. Is it all about you Ruto or is it about Kenyans? You have a maniac lunacy in getting political devoid of the interests of the people.

All you care about is WSR’s greedy interests! The rest of us do not matter to you. What a shame?

Mkenya halisi (not verified)     Sun, 07/10/2022 @ 09:01pm

Yes yes Mr Ruto this old man needs to b hanged immediately if he brings more chaos as usual or we send him to bondo straight with his supporters build a tall wall in the kisumu border to keep them off coming to kenya.We can name kisumu as a country on their own.Raila how millions of us pray every day u don’t b come prezzo uende nyumbani kama babako mwenye alisumbua Kenyatta.We the many Kenyans feel safe with Ruto than the old mganga.

The other day we witnessed Azimio transporting supporters from kisumu to try and fill up space in the kakamega rally.
Similarly and sadly here, we have the same mentality of on individual creating different pseudo names trying to stupidly convince the readers that they are many writing against Ruto.
It’s none other than the lier, tribal bigot, the squatte, the ignorant and individual full of hate.
Ruto at this juncture has the formidable numbers to win. The zones that earlier belonged to Babu Baba are already taken. At least by half. Add it to the RV and MtK tyranny of numbers. And going by it, there’s no way Raila gets to win let alone be president.
It’s as simple as that.

Apparently the handshake is contingent upon trouncing.I guess he is open to a ahandshake with Raila...As some said, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in politics;only permanent interests.

Mudavandi K. (not verified)     Mon, 07/11/2022 @ 09:41am

Wsr looks like an uncivilized street punk. Hw does not have qualities of a waiting president. No wonder he wants everything to himself.

Kennedy (not verified)     Tue, 07/12/2022 @ 07:27am

Jamaa wa kofi is very confused. He offers slapping instead of hand shake for the good of the country. Ruto ni mdomo tupu; hakuna leader hapa.
