Uhuru to Ruto: Stop Lying to Kenyans That I Want to Kill You

Uhuru to Ruto: Stop Lying to Kenyans That I Want to Kill You

President Kenyatta has fired back at Deputy President William Ruto, saying that he has no intention of harming him, his family or allies.

Kenyatta, who spoke during the official commissioning of the Nairobi Expressway on Sunday, noted that Ruto and his allies have been insulting him for the past three years yet he has never harmed any of them.

“There is no need of telling people that I want to kill you. Haven’t you insulted me for three years? Haven’t I been the holder of this office for those three years? I had the power to do so. Now, when I am getting ready to hand over, and have limited powers, do you think I have the time to look for you?” Uhuru posed.

Kenyatta asked Ruto to stop telling lies and focus on drumming up support for his presidential bid even as he urged Kenyans to maintain peace during and after the upcoming elections.

“There is no need for insults and when I answer you lies do not tell people I want to kill you…. Sell your agenda and stories and leave me alone. I will do my job and complete it. You go and ask the electorate for votes, if they elect you that’s fine and if not, we will go home together,” said Kenyatta.

“In a week’s time we will be exercising our constitutional right to choose the next administration. I want to urge Kenyans to maintain peace during the remaining campaign period. And on and after the day of the election…Everybody, including myself, has the freedom to vote for their preferred candidate.”

Kenyatta was responding to Ruto, who accused the president of threatening him and his allies in the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.

 “As long as you don’t kill my children, I am ready to face you in this election with your project. Mr. President, you shouldn’t be the source of a threat in Kenya. Stop threatening Kenyans. Your work is to ensure that all Kenyans are safe. Stop telling us that we will know that you’re the President,” Ruto stated.

Mr. President,
"If you do not want the heat; stay out of the kitchen". You are not running for any position!
You should leave politics alone. You have served your ten years per the constitution. You are not on the ballot. You are the President of all Kenyans.
When you are an outgoing President, you do not involve yourself in campaigns.
No one insulted Kibaki. Why are you answering Ruto? Why is Ruto calling you out? Why mention Ruto's name. You call Ruto a lier. You call him a thief. If Ruto is a thief, why was he not taken to court for the last 10 years and due process followed?
Let the candidates alone sought out their mess.
Mr President, you are slowly eloding your legacy; whatever is left.
The God of Kenya is still on the throne. Whoever will rule Kenya is the one who will be elected by the people with their God given power just like they elected you ten years ago.
Let each candidate sell himself to the people of Kenya the best way he knows how. Stay away from any campaigns. You are just causing confusion!!

Let the best man win!!

The strategy by Ruto was to have sympathy from voters of his base. Even the likes of Gachagua and Moses Kuria are claiming to be in danger. In my opinion this an evil move which can result in to chaos.

Ruto is such a sympathetic creature of no material value. Who wants to kill a thief and its children? Ruto has taught every member of his family to lie and to steal. Ow he is so nervous that Kenyans know Nick Ruto is used by ruto as a conduit of land theft and corruption. Now ruto us worried Nick could go to jail for being a corruption accomplices to his father. Ruto has panic to s point he is now stammering in public like a drunkard fool.

Has Ruto really gone mentally sick 🤒 or what is really wrong with the DP? Ihuru has never threatened any body Kenyans know about. As a natter of fact its ruto who threatened Uhuru by saying that he wants to slap (chapa kofi) the president.

Ruto has mental issues and Kenyans would make such a grave mistake to elect him as the next president. Ruro does not have the mannerism and character of a president in waiting. I am glad Uhuru told Kenyans that Ruto is telling a bunch of lies. Ruto will take Kenya to hell if elected president.

Mulevi wa Njohi is a violent man! Mulevi wa Njohi has murdered more Kenyans than the last three presidents combined! Even his talk proves his mindset that power means killing our fellow citizens! Good riddance!!!

C'mon my people, don't get all worked up by what politicians say or do when campaigning. Some of you writing comments are well educated in Western countries' universities and should know better. For me, I am completing my first shift at my CNA job here in Boston and off for another 8 hours at another nursing home. Stay healthy my countrymen and remember to drink beer or hard liquor in moderation.

I COPIED and PASTED from my earlier post.
This is a very sad trend, but unfortunately it could be true.
Isn't this the same government that has killed since independence?
Party changing names,but the same people still in POWER.
So, who killed, Pio,Mboya,JM Kariuki, Muge, Saitoti, ouko, The last of Mau mau warriors, Osando, etc ?
Why has the government kept quite with some inquiries that yielded no results?
How comes the government has never solved non of them?

Please do not mention Ruto in the same breath as Pio Gama Pinto, Tom Mboya, JM Kariuki, Rev Muge! These are freedom fighters who the government murdered to silence!
Ruto is a murderer of the innocent
