Ruto Wanted to Slap Matiang'i and Me, Defense CS Eugene Wamalwa Claims

Defense Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa claims that Deputy President William Ruto wanted to slap him and Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i.

Wamalwa, who was speaking during an Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition campaign meeting in Kakamega on Saturday, said the incident happened following a meeting between President Kenyatta and leaders from the Western Kenya region in 2018.

He claimed that the deputy president was enraged because he was not consulted over the State House meeting, and demanded a resignation letter from him.

"We had a meeting with President Kenyatta in State House, we were there with my brothers from NASA including Musalia, Wetangula, Oparanya. We brought him to this stadium where he chose Oparanya as the chair of the Revival taskforce of the sugar sector," Wamalwa recounted.

“The DP was very furious asking why I took the Luhya leaders to the president without his consent. He told me to leave his government and deliver a resignation. Karibu nipate slap ya huyo jamaa. Lakini angeteleza iniguze ningempa uppercut moja.” 

Wamalwa further claimed that Ruto similarly wanted to assault CS Matiang'i after the launch of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) pilot program in Kisumu.

"He also wanted to slap Matiang'i. He was so angry with him when we went to Kisumu to unveil the UHC and upon returning to State House, he wanted to slap him. And there are witnesses," noted Wamalwa.

“I have forgiven the DP for the embarrassment he caused me. The incidents show that he cannot be trusted with leadership.” 

His allegations come on the backdrop of a leaked audio clip where Ruto admitted to nearly slapping President Kenyatta after their 2017 election victory was nullified by the Supreme Court following a petition by ODM leader Raila Odinga. This was after Kenyatta suggested he was ready to quit the race to defend his seat in the wake of the apex court ruling.

 “So, ndiyo huyo… Oh, sasa, hii maneno, sijui nini, mimi sitaki, mimi nataki kuenda Ichaweri, sasa mimi sitaki, wacha tuachane na hii kitu,” Ruto said in the leaked audio taken during a meeting with elders from Kikuyu community at his residence in Karen.

“Mimi nikamwangalia (Uhuru), nikamwambia ‘wewe’! Ni vile tu nilikua na heshima, ningemchapa kofi. Ati sisi tuache?”

Asante sana Ndugu Wamalwa kwa kutujulisha tabia za ajabu za Ndugu yetu Samoei.
Kusema kweli, umetuokea kwa kusema ukweli mtupu juu ya tabia zake za kutaka kupigana na watu ambao anatofautiana nao kwa kimawazo. Yeye ana tabia kama za aliyekuwa rais wa nchi ya Marekani 2017 mpaka Januari 2021. Zaidi ya hayo, Samoei ameiga jina la chama chake cha siasa kutokana na Donald Trump. Rais huyu wa kutisha kama Samoei, aliita chama chake, “America First.” Naye Samoei aliita chama chake,”Kenya Kwanza.”
Inaonekana wazi ya kwamba, huyu Ndugu yetu Samoei amechanganyikiwa. Hafai hata kidogo kupewa nafasi ya kushikilia hatamu ya uongozi nchini. Ndugu na dada zangu Agikuyu, wanamwita mtu mwenye tabia za ajabu kama yeye, “mūgūrūki.”

This "slappergate" has me scratching my head. The self proclaimed man of God going around and slapping,or wanting to slap men,and I think some women as well,in clear violation of what the son of mariamu teaches.People who resort to this kind of animal behavior to solve conflicts,or disagreements have not yet fully evolved from caveman,and are not fit to lead any human beings.Dont waste your vote on this prehistoric relic.

All CS’s in Kenya needs a big slap regularly to keep them aligned or stick to their mandatory work. Wamalwa has always needed one to wake him up! Matiangi and some others are in need of it too to stop politicizing state projects.

Dada@ Asista:
Nakuonea huruma sana kama binadamu mwenzangu. Kwa nini?

1. Ndugu Samoei ameketi akilini mwako kiwango ambacho maandishi yako hapa yamekufanya uonekane kama mtu ambaye amechanganyikiwa kabisa na kupoteza akili yako kabisa.
2. Dada Asista unawezaje kumwuunga mkono mtu ambaye ameshtakiwa na ICC kwa majanga mengi aliyowafanyia wote walioteketezewa katika kanisa la Kiambaa huko Eldoret? Kwa nini mpaka sasa hajajitahidi kuwanasa wote waliohusika na janga hili?
3. Unawejaje kumwuunga mkono mtu ambaye utajiri wake ameupata kwa kuiba mali ya umma? Kama huniamini, nakuomba umsikilize Ndugu yetu Keter akiwaonya watu wa taifa lake wasimpigie kura ili WaNandi wasichukiwe na nchi ya Kenya nzima.
4. Unawezaje kumwuunga mkono Ndugu Samoei awe kiongozi wa taifa letu na huku yeye ni mnafiki? Mnafiki kwa njia gani? Yeye anajifanya kuwa mfuasi wa dini ya Marehemu Mwana wa Mariamu na huku alimfanya msichana wa chuo kikuu mimba na huku yeye ana mke na watoto?
5. Kulingana na mila na imani ya Wayahudi, kitabu cha mila na imani yao (bibilia) kinakataza mtu yeyote kusema uongo, kuiba, kutamani mali ya watu wengine, na huku Ndugu Samoei aliiba shamba la Hayati Muteshi.
6. Unawezaje kufikiria kumpigia kura Ndugu yetu Samoei na huku unajua wazi ya kwamba ni mtu mwenye hasira nyingi kiwango ambacho, yeye mwenyewe alisema alikuwa karibu kumpiga kofi rais wa taifa letu, Ndugu Uhuru Ngina Kamau? Ndugu yetu Wamalwa naye alinguruma na kusema ya kwamba, yeye pamoja na Ndugu yetu Matiang’i walikuwa Karibu sana kupokea makofi kutoka kwa rafiki yako Samoei?

Bila shaka wewe pamoja na watu wengine mnajiuliza kwa nini kila wakati namtaja Samoei kwenye maandishi yangu kwenye gazeti letu tukufu la MWAKILISHI! Ninafuata nyayo za Hayati Ndugu yetu wa Kusini mwa bara letu Mpilo Tutu aliyesema:

“If you are silent in situations of injustice, you have taken the side of the oppressor.”

Imara, huruma? When you talk of Kiambaa, you should also talk about the 82 coup attempt deaths. You should tap about the thousands of people killed in 2007 in Kisumu and other parts county by the government. You should tell us how Kenyatta family got all that vast wealth. You should tell us how Jaramogis got all that wealth. What is good for goose is also good for gander. Let’s stop this invariable biases. You guys sing Ruto day and night. Alafu eti nakuonea huruma.
Main reason why ICC cases collapsed is because they had the wrong people. Raila and Kibaki were the real ICC candidates.

Wakale wenye kofi because they are defeated by brains. Very reactive indeed for nothing. You will jump into the deepest river because Ruto told you to do it? Right?

That is how you ended up burning women and children inside the Kiambaa church in Eldoret in 2007. Ruto lit the match and you poured kerosene because you have no brains of your own to know right or wrong.

Njinga wewe kubafu @asista!

Wamalwa - you should have given Ruto a nice upper cut in the jaws for messing with a big fella - mundu khu mundu!

Ruto has not met with a real man to put him in his place. Ati he wanted kulipua Uhuru with a kofi. Luckily it wasn’t me because I would have cut off his balls.

Shut up. You have been irrelevant for forever and now you embarrassment? Are you looking for sympathy? Emotional much? Get a grip. Sounds like a standard 5 beef
