Ruto to President Uhuru: Please Show Some Respect, I'm Not Competing with You

Deputy President William Ruto has hit back at President Kenyatta for accusing him of engaging in political doublespeak and spreading lies to gain political mileage ahead of next month’s elections.

Kenyatta, who spoke on Tuesday after presiding over the ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of six factories at the Naivasha Special Economic Zone, dismissed claims by Ruto that the Naivasha Inland Container Depot (ICD) has interfered with operations of the Mombasa port.

“A whole leader standing in public and saying look at these people, they have moved the railway and port to Naivasha. Surely, can I carry the ocean to Naivasha? Only God can do that,” said Kenyatta.

He added: “We did that so as to attract investors who will create jobs for Kenyans. It is unfortunate that some people have the guts to stand before Kenyans and tell lies about these projects…Let’s shun politics of deceit, Let’s avoid divisive politics. Kenyans deserve politics of development not lies, insults, and threats.”

In a rejoinder, Ruto accused President Uhuru of being ungrateful to the people who put him in power, adding that he should stay away from the political campaigns and await his retirement.

“Mr. President, please show some respect. If someone helped you, please be grateful. Don’t go around in circles. Mr. Kitendawili whom you are supporting now has never helped you,” Ruto said during a campaign rally in Maua, Meru County.

“I see that the President is trying to quarrel with me. I am telling you, please my friend, you are not competing with me. When you needed someone to stand with you, I was there. I helped you in 2013 and 2017, now you are not standing, why are you asking me so many questions? Leave me with Mr. Kitendawili I beat him.”

Ruto surely make sure your heart does not jump out of your chest. You sound bitter and very angry. Please guard your heart from all things from where the issues of life come; thou says the Lord!

Euro is really stressed out. It clearly shows when he is addressing Uhuru with a lot of bitterness. Uhuru is just setting you up for the biggest failure of your life. Come to your senses! And you are just taking the hock and the sinker simultaneously. Come back to your senses.

Makamu wa Rais, Ndugu Kipchirchir Samoei, Nakuomba umheshimu Rais wa nchi Ndugu Uhuru Ngina Kamau.

Makamu wa Rais: Nina swali moja tu kwako:

Kwa nini unapenda matusi hivyo? Kwa nini hutumii jina la heshima kuzungumzia juu ya Ndugu yako Raila?

Kila wakati unamwita "mganga" na "kitendawili." Unataka akuite "mbakaji wa wanafunzi wa kike walio chuoni" au akuite "mchomeaji watoto, wazee na akina mama 37 kanisani" kila wakati anapokutaja?

Naomba tufanye heshima.

Ndugu @ Asista: Je, una lolote la kusema la kumwuunga
mkono ndugu yako Samoei juu ya matusi? Kwa nini hufuati nyayo za ndugu yetu Keter na kusema ya kweli juu ya Ndugu Samoei?

Kenyatta family has a history of deliberately sabotaging the economy of the Coast region.

The purpose of SGR was to economically sabotage the region.

Uhuru and Ruto should stop disturbing Kenyans with their personal issues.

Guest:
Do you ever imagine the port can be used to export goods made & manufactured in Kenya? If you do, can the SGR be of an import facility to transport those goods (from hinterland) to the port of Mombasa and thus making it an important economic hub for the coast. The problem guest is people thinking like you that the port is only for imports coming into the country. Let’s think outside the box and see the port as an exporting facility as we try to grow in manufacturing. (Also Ruto’s main agenda in his manifesto but he cannot see the port being used for exports!!!!!) He is such a liar!!!!

Kama Wafula Chebukati angalifanya kazi yake ipasavyo, Ndugu Raila na mwenzake Ndugu Samoei hawangekuwa wakigombea kuchaguliwa rais wakati huu. Kwa nini? historia yao ya zamani ni mbaya sana na kweli, wote wawili hawawezi kupita au kufaulu msingi wa Katiba yetu mpya kwenye SURA YA SITA (6).

Hayati Rais wa Kwanza wa nchi ya Tanzania Ndugu Kambarage Borito Nyerere alisema, "Samaki wakubwa hula wale wadogo." Mmojawapo wa ndugu hawa wawili atachaguliwa kuwa rais mwezi ujao. Kwa vile mimi ni mmojawao wa "samaki wadogo,"nitamezwa na mmojawapo wa samaki hawa wakubwa. Nitakalofanya halimhusu mtu yeyote wa Kenya. Mimi sitamtambua Ndugu Raila au Ndugu Ruto kama rais wa Kenya. Kwa nini? Kama Katiba ya Kenya ingalifuatwa ipasavyo, wote wawili wangalikuwa Kamiti sasa. Wafula Chebukati: Mimi siwezi kukusamehe kwa kuwapa cheti cha kugombea urais watu wawili ambao hawafai hata kidogo kugombea uchaguzi wa kuwa rais wa Kenya,
