Ruto Locked Out of Tanzania President Samia Suluhu's Visit to Kenya

Ruto Locked Out of Tanzania President Samia Suluhu's Visit to Kenya

Deputy President William Ruto was conspicuously missing as Tanzania President Samia Suluhu landed in the country for a two-day State visit.

Suluhu and her delegation arrived at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Tuesday morning.

Unlike in the past when Ruto received visiting heads of states at the airport, Suluhu was received by Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Rachel Omamo and her Sports counterpart Amina Mohamed.

She was later driven to State House, Nairobi, where she inspected a guard of honor and received a 21-gun salute before holding bilateral talks with her host President Kenyatta.

Ruto’s director of communications Emmanuel Tallam told Nation that the deputy president was not invited to the meetings or the State dinner held in honor of President Suluhu at State House.

“The DP has not received any invite,” said Tallam.

As President Kenyatta was receiving his Tanzania counterpart, Ruto was meeting a group of religious leaders from Kajiado at his Karen office. 

Through his social media pages, Ruto indicated that he donated a vehicle to Rev. Daniel Lotuno of AIC Ilmasin, Kiserian, Kajiado County. 

“Blessed to have joined the church in acquiring a tool for evangelization,” he wrote.

The deputy president has been visibly absent in many State events in recent months, in what signifies his fallout with President Kenyatta.

Their relationship has continued to deteriorate since the 2018 handshake between President Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga.

Ruto skipped this year’s Labor Day celebrations at State House last week and instead went on a three-day retreat with leaders from the Mt Kenya region.

Lee your stupid hustler hush tag! You are the poor man and certainly confesses your poverty stricken state of mind! Get your self a job and work fir a cool living! Ruto has stolen everything and Kenyans have lost a lot to Ruto. Of course the fool got nothing to lose in your fainted eyes because he has taken everything from Kenyans!

A owner of a lonely life! Cut him off completely Mr president! Ruto is just getting paid for nothing! All he does is run his stinking mouth and wanting to be the next president while he has not worked for years!

Don't worry. You will be hosting President Suluhu Solution in 2022.
Let current president finish and go in peace.

Ruto is counting until he takes the president’s office. This man will execute vengeance on everyone. His silence is a tactic. Watch out Kenyans, once this man becomes president it’s a wrap.

Ruto will never be Kenya’s president! Of course he will execute revenge because he is a known murderer! That is why Uhuru must make sure this con is in jail soon and never to take over power in Kenya. He has enough pending cases to lock him up for a long time! Thieves do not lead countries! Ruto is a thief!

I by no means support Ruto but you are in denial brother. First, he’s not going to jail. We know he’s corrupted but which politician in Kenya isn’t. We hear what he’s done but no one has taken him to court yet. Second, he really has no real rival to challenge him for the seat. Ruto has too much money to lose that’s what it boils down too.

This is beyond criticism.....how hateful can you be to treat you own Deputy like that????
At least on official responsibilities, respect him. Very UNFAIR treatment.

Ruto will never be the president of Kenya, take it to the bank! It will be ‘given’ to someone else but not the well known not so smart mega thief. Elections in kenya are mere formalities. Next president and deputy have already been decided. Ruto will go to quick retirement and irrelevance. Watch this space.

Well said about Ruto! Him and his wheelbarrow will just keep on pounding the Thin road of fake economics! How can the greatest thief in Africa become the president? Surely many are wondering!

We need new blood that is the only way out. For the others one group stinks the others smells what is the difference

And Ruto stinks just like a skunk or even worse! He can never be trusted to provide a level headed leadership! We don’t want more people to die in Ruto’s hands. The blood he has spilt with hose he has murdered is more than enough!

BBI has passed and now Ruto can meza wembe! It is a very significant step toward blocking Ruto from becoming the next president of the Republic of Kenya!

It is quite unsettling fir a sitting DP Ruto to have his own group in the same government he is part of! This Kalejin dude got no shame. No wonder Uhuru treats him badly for being ignorant and foolish!
