MPs Allege Scheme to Scuttle Deputy President William Ruto's 2022 Presidential Race

A section of Rift Valley Members of Parliament claim that there is a scheme by unnamed powerful individuals to lock out Deputy President William Ruto from the 2022 presidential race.

Led by MPs Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central) and Nelson Koech (Belgut), the MPs allege that the scheme involves linking Ruto to several corruption scandals in various government departments.

“The bashing the DP has received lately over alleged corruption links, including those from rebel MPs Joshua Kutuny (Cherenganyi), Alfred Keter (Nandi Hills) and Silas Tiren (Moiben), have the blessings of powerful individuals in the corridors of power,” says MP Tonui as quoted by the Daily Nation.

“Our colleagues have attempted to link the DP to scandals in the maize, sugar and fertilizer sectors in a bid to drive a wedge between him and his Rift Valley political base … Now we are being told there are turf wars between Mr. Ruto and Interior Minister Fred Matiang’i, who is his junior. This is sheer madness.”

Last week, reports alleged that Ruto is engaged in a fierce fight with Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i over the multi-million-shilling tender for supply of new police uniforms.

Ruto's name has also been dragged into National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), illegal sugar and substandard fertilizer scandals among others.

Wakenya: Amkeni kumekucha. Tuanze kumtayarisha ndugu yetu Kivutha Kibwana kuwa rais 2022. Hatuwezi kumpa nafasi mwizi wa mashamba na viwanja vya shule kuwa rais wa Kenya!

Ruto anajiita mkristo na huku alimfanya msichana wa chuo kikuu mimba na huku ana mke! Nilipokuwa mkristo, nilisoma mahali ambapo palisema katika biblia, "usizini" - commit adultery. Niliambiwa ya kwamba hii ni mojawapo ya sheria kumi Moshe (Musa) alizopewa na "Mungu."

Kama Ruto anaweza kuvunja sheria kama hii ya Mungu, atavunja sheria ngapi akiwa rais wa Kenya? Baada ya 2022 aende shuleni na kuwa mwalimu kama vile Binaisa wa Uganda alivyofanya. Binaisa alikuwa rais wa nchi ya Uganda, lakini alipoondoka kwenye uongozi huo, alikwenda kufundisha shule ya msingi - Elementary School katika mji wa Kampala.

If there is anything that alienates DP these days from his supporters and would be supporters, is this group of henchmen who purport to be defending him. They create a scenario of a hidden agenda themselves, and that does not go well towards seeking the top office in the land.

Ruto has dug himself into a hole without anyone's help
He shows up with sacks of money to buy mbuzis while his own are starving.
He fleeces maize farmers in Rift valley and tricks them to plant avocados to diversify so that when he brings his maize from DRC(yes from DRC) to Kenya there won't be competition.
His wife Rachel been busy calling Matiang'i day and night to give her the police uniforms tender with plan to import the raw materials from China..not Kenya
Look where his Weston Hotel is built and all the land he has grabbed while tear gassing toddlers in kindergarten.
Who knows where he gets the money from to dish to the corrupt churches in order to buy votes?
How much money can one make to make them happy? Ruto as long as you continue stealing from the down-trodden you will never be happy.
And don't forget his stolen PhD. Go back and get some more PhDs.Keep yourself busy away from tax payers money.
