President Uhuru Kenyatta has dared his deputy Will Ruto to resign.
Speaking in an interview with editors on Monday August 23,2021 at State House, Nairobi, President Kenyatta said DP Ruto should quit if he is unhappy with the government he is serving.
The head of state faulted his deputy for criticizing the same government that he is serving.
“If you are unhappy you can leave. You cannot throw stones at the same house that you are leaving in,” president Kenyatta said.
DP Ruto has been on record attacking his boss in a number of his political rallies and church services.
Ruto has also been attacking the building bridges Initiative that was being spearheaded by Uhuru and ODM leader Raila Odinga.
Commenting on the ruling that was recently delivered by the appellate court declaring BBI null and void, President Kenyatta faulted the judgement but noted that he has respected the decision.
He further faulted DP Ruto for attacking the BBI process, which he noted that was meant to bring people of Kenya together.
“This is the same agenda we had with him..bringing the people of Kenya together. If the divisions of 2007 brought us together, the current divisions should be uniting us more,” President Kenyatta said.
DP Ruto is seeking to succeed President Kenyatta in 2022.
Whilst he is still serving as the DP in the Jubilee government, Ruto has formed his own party, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) which he will use to seek the presidency in the next year’s general election.
He has openly been attacking Jubilee government over what he claims as failure.
The DP is now selling the bottom up economic model to Kenya s, arguing that the approach is the only solution to the ailing economy of the country.
