Ruto Alleges Plot to Intimidate Voters, Stir Chaos in Rift Valley

Deputy President William Ruto claims that there is a scheme to intimidate voters and stir chaos in his Rift Valley backyard during the August 9th general elections.

Addressing the media on Thursday, the UDA party presidential candidate alleged that President Kenyatta is aware of the scheme orchestrated by four senior security officials as part of the plot to influence the outcome of next Tuesday’s election.

“Having realized they can’t win this election, they want to disrupt this election. They want to cause conflict and that’s why we are calling state agencies and the international community to speak to this matter,” Ruto said.

He named Rift Valley Regional Commissioner Maalim Mohammed, County Commissioners Samson Ojwang (Trans Nzoia), Steven Kihara (Uasin Gishu) and Erastus Mbui (Nakuru) as the officials behind the plan.

“The president of Kenya is aware and we are asking him in his constitutional duty to ensure that the country is safe and to stop this people from planning the evil they are planning,” he added.

Ruto, who is seeking to succeed President Kenyatta, further alleged that chiefs were being coerced by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i and Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho to interfere with the election by issuing hate leaflets in a bid to suppress voter turnout in certain regions.

“Chiefs and County commissioners are being forced with threats and blackmail of losing of their jobs if they don’t become Azimio operatives,” said Ruto.

“This two gentleman [Matiang’i and Kibicho] must know there is a shortage of fools in Kenya. Whatever they are telling these chiefs, the chiefs are telling everybody else. The chiefs are complaining they are being forced to sabotage election through bribery.”

mr. Ruto, the chickens are coming to roost. The schemes you are alleging are the same ones that made previous rulers of kenya win, including your regime.

GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND!

What happened to the over confident WSR who claimed to be the IEBC spokesperson prior to the arrest of Venezuelan nationals he had hired to rig the elections for him.

Ruto has now become a crybaby and comedian after he has been corned.

Please wsr tell your nonsense to the birds. Prepare to go to a mental hospital once you lose in three days time.

WSR you keep saying there is “a shortage of fools in Kenya” but you have not presented any evidence to show that the chiefs and county commissioners have been threatened to support the Azimio.

Put out the evidence or just shut up. You have been making wild and strange claims but you have not backed up your outbursts with credible evidence.

You can keep crying a river but unless you become serious you are bound to lose this election.

The Devil in Ruto’s head would not vote for this conman. Kenyans are sick and tired of your obvious lies. Prepare to be in the opposition where you can oppose everything with your propaganda.

Ruto cares less about the plight of ordinary Kenyans. Politics is all about Ruto and his stealing tendencies.

Huyu Ndugu yetu Kipchirchir Samoei hafai (not fit) wala hastahili does not deserve) kuwa rais wa nchi yetu. Kwa nini?
Hebu soma kwa makini matamshi (utterances) yaliyotoka mdomoni mwake:

"“Chiefs and County commissioners are being forced with threats and blackmail of losing of their jobs if they don’t become Azimio operatives,” said Ruto.

“This two gentleman [Matiang’i and Kibicho] must know there is a shortage of fools in Kenya. Whatever they are telling these chiefs, the chiefs are telling everybody else. The chiefs are complaining they are being forced to sabotage election through bribery.”

Je, ana ushahidi (evidence) wowote kwa matamshi kama haya Ndugu Samoei? Kufanya makisio (speculation) kama haya bila ushahidi wowote ni hatari sana kwa usalama wa taifa zima.

Ndugu Samoei anafikiri tumesahau ya kwamba wakati alipokuwa akimsifu Hayati Toroitich Kipkorioa Arap Moi na kuimba kwa sauti ya juu sana, "Tawala Kenya tawala, tawala Kenya tawala, Rais Moi tawala Kenya tawala ..." watu wengine walikuwa wakipigania ukombozi wa pili wa nchi ya Kenya.

Mwishowe, Ndugu Samoei anataka WaKenya wote wasahau janga lililotokea katika kanisa la Kiambaa, huko Eldoret wakati watoto, wazee, na akina mama 37, walifanywa "nyama choma" humo kanisani. Kwa nini mpaka sasa hajajishughulisha kuwanasa wote waliohusika na janga hilo ili wapelekwe mahakamani na kuhukumiwa ipasavyo?

Sasa, imepita zaidi ya mika 14 tangu msiba huo uwapate watoto ambao hawakuwa na hatia yoyote. Je, Ndugu Samoei: Huu ni ungwana kufanya hivyo?
