Ruto Speaks Out After UDA Kiambaa By-Election Victory

Deputy President William Ruto has spoken out following Thursday’s by-elections in Kiambaa Constituency and Muguga Ward.

Speaking during a burial in Mathioya, Murang'a County on Friday, Ruto praised residents of the two areas for maintaining peace during the hotly contested by-elections.

He termed the showdown between the Jubilee party and United Democratic Alliance (UDA) as a friendly match, adding that Muguga and Kiambaa electorates achieved what the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) was advocating for.
 
"The people of Kiambaa and Muguga have shown us that it is possible to vote peacefully and go back to work without changing the constitution. It is the loser to accept the defeat and that is the end of an election process," Ruto stated.

Ruto noted that the two by-elections should act as a lesson to those who have been engaging in violence after elections. "We don't need to change the Constitution to have a peaceful election," he said.

UDA’s candidate John Njuguna Wanjiku emerged victorious in the Kiambaa parliamentary by-election, defeating his Jubilee Party rival Kariri Njama by a slim margin of 510 votes. Wanjiku garnered 21,773 votes while Kariri managed 21,263.

In the Muguga ward by-election, Jubilee party’s candidate Mung’ara Joseph Githinji garnered 4,089 votes ahead of Peter Thumbi of UDA who got 4,062 votes.

Ndugu Ruto has been engaged in active Kenyan politics since 1992. When he was a student, he did not study law or politics. It's time for him to retire from politics and use his academic skills that he acquired in school from kindergarten up to to earning his doctorate at Nairobi University.

His political thinking was engineered, formulated, and molded by the late Mzee Daniel Kipkorios Toroitich Arap Moi. Its time Kenya politics turns a new page by getting rid of the old-out of date political thinking that is the basis of Ruto's current shallow thinking.

Electing Ruto as president 2022, is a continuation of Mzee Arap Moi's myopic thinking. When I see the people surrounding Brother Ruto, I don't see any future of a bright Kenya.

The current fear of the people of Kenya who have chosen to remain silent and not speaking up against Ruto's presidential candidacy will be the last straw that broke the camels' back.

SOLUTION:

How about drafting Brother Kivutha Kibwana to run for the Kenyan presidency come 2022.

@Imara, looks like Baba will be the next president. Arap Mashamba will need 25% in most counties to win and he can not pull that. Mt Kenya will be split and thats all Baba needs to take the reign. For Arap Mashamba to win by only 50% with Uhuru staying out of it shows he is not that strong. And we have not revisited Kiambaa Massacre yet.

Even the devil utters sweet words before he get a chance to devour those he intends to kill! Ruto has nothing good for the people of kiambaa!

Kiambaa residents are using sons of prostitutes to set them up for a long term failure!

The owner of uda is a the same person who killed your own women, little brothers and sisters by burning them alive inside a Kiambaa church in mogotio!

The Ruto’s hustler keep telling you we are all Kenyans until he garners enough votes to be the president. Then his actions will say we are the kalenjin in charge of you!

It will be just too late then to vote the right way. Hear me folks.. don’t be conned to put yourselves inside Ruto’s hole! The kikuyu youth must wake the hell yp and realize the devil they are playing with! The DP Ruto!

Ya, surely we forgot that remarkable mass killing of children! 2008 sounds like eternity to Kiambaa rogue youth who went out in droves to vote for Ruto!

The young voters forgot their dead! They elected a man whose father was killed trying to save the children; hence the name “wanjiku”! I guess you join them after they killed your father! Right?

Ruto surely thinks he has fooled all of you; the Kikuyus!

@justme! Good question! Ruto is your neighbor. right? Ask him to respond to your questions! How many other men, mainly Kikuyus who were married to kalenjin women, did you all kill with poisoned arrows? Have you no shame or decency to ask us such a painful question!?? Have you no shame!?

Seroney (not verified)     Fri, 07/16/2021 @ 02:36pm

The youth in Kiambaa just rigged themselves out of an election. They have quickly forgotten the man they voted for killed their people in a place called Kiambaa in Eldoret.

In Germany’s Hitler period, the Jews laughed off that Hitler was a criminal! They voted for him in huge numbers. They all died in large numbers soon after they worshiped Hitler!

You know folks, history can easily and quickly repeat itself!

Here is a mad man, Ruto, telling his newly found “friends” how the constitution and democracy work.

Lectures by Ruto aside, the kikuyu women and children of Kiambaa are still dead! No remorse whatsoever from the one who led Kiambaa dead into the gallows. Could the same thing be happening in Kiambaa?

Ruto is overjoyed he can continue to fool you - I mean the wheelbarrow gluttons! And they are many out there in both Rurii and Kiambaa. Mostly illiterate and lazy.

And maybe in some more bush places! You talk about ngati who betrayed the Mau Mau to the colonial masters in exchange with a few sweet candies! Wow, the real devil must be a liar! For real! Wow! Wow! Wow!!!

Kariithi (not verified)     Fri, 07/16/2021 @ 03:04pm

Hey Kiambaa youth and those others who voted for Ruto!

What are you gonna tell the late old grandma who raised up her shoe when she was hotly chased by DP Ruto people after she escaped a burning church in Kiambaa, Eldoret Kenya!?

Her and many others died of deep scars of war! The war was over land against other Kenyans from Kiambaa as Ruto himself proudly puts it! Ruto shamefully refers to those people as the Kikuyus from Kiambaa. Other kalenjin call those Kikuyus madowadowa (simply meaning stains)!

You have voted for Ruto! Yes, that is the man who called shots while children were being burned by Ruto’s people inside a church! I mean inside the house of God! The same place Ruto goes to worship in deceptive tendencies! How do you head a rope to your future killer!

What happened in Kiambaa in yesterday’s elections will not happen in Oscar Sudi’s Kapseret. No kalenjin would vote for a kikuyu in Sudi’s home town or in Ruto’s Sugoi! It will not happen in Mogotio or in Iten!

Now, the kalenjin have taken this narrative that we are all Kenyans! True, we are all Kenyans but Kiambaa folks need to realize that is a ploy Ruto is using to get to power; just like Moi did. Once he gets into power, Ruto will kill Kikuyus en-mass and those left will be kicked out of the Rift Valley! He will fire Kikuyus holding some meaningful employment in Nairobi and across the country!

Just keep on buying Ruto’s ploy to get to power! You will regret it with one eye closed why you fell for the scam! This is not the time to be stupid!

Njoki (not verified)     Fri, 07/16/2021 @ 03:16pm

What happened in Kiambaa yesterday will go into the history books as sheer ignorance and madness! This must be one place the voters stay drunk 24/7. The real spoiler bought them enough muratina with stolen money to stay drunk!

You can cerebrate Ruto all you want. You can even take a 2nd wheelbarrow! But never say shit when the carcass hit the fan soon after 2022.

You are all enabling the second coming of the Kiambaa massacre. It is being written as we speak! You have definitely emboldened Ruto!

@nyota - you had better sober up before 2022! Your busaa hangover will take you no where! Keep playing with fire that will eventually burn you! The kids spirits in 2008 Kiambaa fired are wondering which demon have beholden you to behave stupid! It could you next time if you don’t sober up and vote right!

I’m not worried that a uda crook got voted for in the last Kiambaa election! What worries me is exactly where we are going heading to in 2022.

Many thanks to Kiambaans for loudly telling jambazi Uhuru that he doesn’t own the AGikuyu.There are some people including the so-called leaders who do not know Uhuru can only offer a glass of KIRURU,BUZAA,SORGHUM,CHANG’AA or KONYAGI after 2022 elections.The Mt Kenya elite thugs who follow Uhuru are now more confused after his Kiambaa defeat on top of his decision to back muuaji Raila.

@menya! What happened in Kiambaa shows how stupid and naive the youthful voters are in failing to understand history and 2008 Kiambaa massacre!

This got nothing to do with Uhuru! Uhuru is the richest man in the world and nothing will change that even Ruto will not change it! It will be the end of Ruto if he attempts to revenge with Uhuru!

As for you fella, it shows how stupid you are when you portray your ignorance here that you are teaching Uhuru a lesson! Which freaking lesson?

You just gave Ruto a rope to hang you in the market place come 2022. We all followed Moi’s nyayos up to the time he started killing us in Nakuru and other places in 1992. Ruto was the managing director of 1992 in Nakuru! Do not deceive yourself as you hope that Ruto is a change man!

Have you noticed that all the kalenjin have guys - Murkomen, sudi, cherargai, etc have recently kept quiet and do not attack Uhuru any more? They are all looking into the future after 2022 when they will burn you right there in Kiambaa! They all know there is nothing they can do to Uhuru!!! But there is a lot of casualty they can incur on you as you foolishly cerebrate Ruto today!

Nery (not verified)     Fri, 07/16/2021 @ 03:28pm

Cop kangogo left a suicide note as she exited! The note was a road map she wrote to DP ruto as a road map to 2022. The Kiambaa folks should have a copy of that road map note! They are the enablers as kangogo stated in the note. She equated the wheelbarrow scam with the gun she used to eliminate men. Ruto will inherit kongogo’s lethal gun!

Titi (not verified)     Fri, 07/16/2021 @ 04:01pm

Don’t worry folks! I would rather have Ruto cerebrating Kiambaa than cerebrating the presidency!

We just need to regroup to floor Ruto by 9 AM on that Election Day nest year!

Gutheka (not verified)     Fri, 07/16/2021 @ 07:37pm

I must admit that it pays to be a thief in Kenya! Ruto is now reaping some fruits (sweet or bitter) of all the many he has stolen from poor Kenyans since 1992! He is also using the people to caution himself from any prosecutions - eg the Kiambaa killings of 2008.

He call the Kiambaa MP elections, “ friendly match” between him and Uhuru, with a future plan in hand. Ruto knows that poor Kenyans do not read. He is wholly capitalizing on their ignorance!

All the poor folks fear is a man with “money”, a cop and village chief. The tainted money is used to buy them some sugar - and that is a good treat for them. If you give the villagers something for the stomach, you are the best guy since a Ford car was invented in America. Ruto has pretty of stolen money to buy some sugar topped of with some flour for ugali na chapati.

Maybe the chiefs need to be teachers in those villages. To help the poor masses understand Ruto’s language of self deceit!

Anyone must be very stupid not to understand why Ruto wants to be president. He wants to protect everything he has stolen by using the same poor masses and a few other thieves to help him get to the presidency! Have you all heard of Weston hotel?

I’m not shocked the masses are getting fooled to uplift Ruto who has stolen from them in a merciless manner! The poor masses will support anything as long as their stomaches are full and not arching. This is the situation that delivered a win for Ruto in Kiambaa - just call it a hustler’s nation designed to benefit Ruto alone!

Murathe and Uhuru has only on vote each! Ruto has one vote too but now he is cerebrating at the stupidity of the Kiambaa people.

Ruto now imagines he can burn more Kiambaa people and they will still vote for him. It is like all of you forgot 2008 massacre in totality.

You seem to have forgive Ruto although he has never asked for forgiveness after killing your families; mostly children and our dear women.

Each person has to decide their destiny! Blame games should be over and stop acting like Ruto is your eternal alternative! After 2022 and Ruto in the state house, you will come to realize Kiambaa deaths of 2008 was a “friendly match” as Ruto himself puts it!

KIMEUMANA na BADO KITAUMANA.Pole sana Waruo umalaya & Co.Masititiko mengi kwa wale wanafilia mwizi kama Uhuru ni billionaire.KAHARA MUNGA might be the only Kenyan genuine billionaire.Other like Uhuru,Kibaki,Dalamere,Ruto,Wanjigi etc are thieves while kina Raila,Kabogo,Joho etc being violent robbers.I even read a prostitute talking nonsense about Ruto and Kiambaa vote but she forgot Kenyans pay shs 800m for her NDURUME and an extra shs 10m when unga is added.

At this rate naona Ruto winning 2022, the same bile people have here is the same one they'll have in 2022. Hate politics, tribal politics is outdated. People need to start thinking out of the box.

No one else practices tribal politics than DP Ruto! It is the same Ruto of 1992 when they killed several people in Nakuru. He is only tilting the narratives to make people think he is a unifier while he is a hater deep inside!

There is nothing new Ruto is telling people here. It is just more lies from a mad man who will do anything to get into siriku..

The more they talk about him even negatively the more he gets publicity. Publicity is a good thing in politics. Politics is dirty and the experienced have a thick skin to weather the storms and barbs coming at them.

Taking responsibility is part of maturing in life! Ruto’s candidate for 21,099 votes, enough for Ruto to chest thump and squeeze his thumb in our eyes! Blaming whoever will not help ….. didn’t Murathe have only one vote?

Lucifer comes in many forms. You got him wrapped by Ruto in the hustler’s narrative to confuse the 21k weak men who voted in Kiambaa to sell the women and children!

Ruto will come to finish your drunken self once all the women are killed!

Muthee (not verified)     Sat, 07/17/2021 @ 08:34am

The welcoming nature of the kikuyu people can be naive and very stupid. We have a bad tendency of receiving those who will turn around and bite us; even kill us!

The recent vote in Kiambaa is a the clearest indication of the unwanted guest being welcomed in our homes! Those home will be on fire soon, and the welcomes will look at each other and ask; what happened?????

Bible is full of killers of innocents like king David, Paul, King Saul, Moses, etc whose relationship with God was deep. Conceiving murder is like carrying it out. Murder still sin despite.
So much mud thrown at someone ends up building bricks for a pavilion for himself. Throwers keep losing ground.
