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.
