Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party communication boss Philip Etale has fired his response to Deputy President Dr William Ruto following his demand for an apology from ODM party leader Raila Odinga and his party.
Ruto on Saturday demanded an apology following chaos which occurred during the just concluded Kibra parliamentary by-election.
The DP accused ODM of being behind the violence witnessed on Thursday and asked Raila to come out and apologise to all those who were attacked.
“As Kenyans we demand that Tinga/his party unconditionally, unequivocally and publicly renounce the culture of violence, chaos, terror and gangsterism their signature modus operandi as witnessed in Kibra and unreservedly apologise to victims past and present for their hurt and loss,” tweeted the DP.
On Sunday, Ruto said that President Uhuru Kenyatta with him had decided that post election violence that had become synonymous with elections since 1992 MUST come to an END and it did, urging Raila to “bring Odm’s primitive & retrogresive signature culture of violence/ chaos to an END& disband baba’s militia to show their commitment to handshake”.
“President Kenyatta & I decided that PEV that had become synonymous with elections since 1992 MUST come to an END and it did.Tinga MUST bring Odm’s primitive & retrogresive signature culture of violence/ chaos to an END& disband baba’s militia to show their commitment to handshake,” Ruto tweeted.
While responding to Ruto’s demand on Sunday, Etale reminded the DP of the 2007 post election violence.
The ODM director of communications said that the families and relatives of the victims of the KIAMBAA Tragedy in Eldoret are still waiting for a public apology from Ruto.
He notes that the hearts of the victims will only relax after receiving a public apology from Ruto.
“DP Ruto, on demanding for APOLOGY from the @TheODMparty Leadership, I want to remind you that the families and relatives of the victims of the KIAMBAA Tragedy in Eldoret are still waiting for a public apology from you. Their hearts will only relax after receiving that APOLOGY,” tweeted Etale.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
