Ruto Demands Apology from Uhuru, Raila for Forcing BBI on Kenyans

Deputy President William Ruto has asked President Uhuru and ODM leader Raila Odinga to apologize to Kenyans for fronting the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).

Ruto termed BBI, a brainchild of Uhuru and Raila, as the most “dangerous assignment” carried out by the government to mutilate the Constitution.

He accused its proponents of lying to Kenyans that BBI was the only route of increasing resources to counties and creating additional constituencies.

“Counties can still be given more funds through Parliament without the conmanship in the BBI. If Kenyans needed more constituencies, then IEBC would have been engaged,” Ruto stated.

The deputy president said BBI promoters ought to apologize for sabotaging the government’s Big Four Agenda that included manufacturing, universal health coverage, affordable housing, and food security. 

“It [Big Four Agenda] would have created millions of jobs opportunities besides ensuring that all Kenyans have access to affordable medical care. But all these gains went down the drain because of the BBI,” he added.

Ruto stated that there was no way BBI was going to pass despite intimidations and huge resources used, terming it as “the biggest fraud and the most dangerous assignment” ever pursued in the history of Kenya.

He argued that it would have destroyed the country’s democratic ideals because of the creation of an imperial president.

“It must therefore fail, and die forever,” Ruto remarked.

BBI was declared unconstitutional by both the high court and the appellate court.

At this point of desperation here in Kenya, we would rather have thieves and criminals talking than to have saints who are silent as we suffer! Kenya’s economy is at the brink of collapsing; recession, inflation, crime, unemployment & cost of living is all time high! Tunavumilia kuwa wakenya!

Kenyans have been ruled by violent robbers since the colonial era.The colonialists introduced corruption and human slaughter followed by expired wauaji/violent robbers Kamau,Moi then came jambazi Kibaki,the demon who okeyed muuaji Raila to kill 1300 people but welcomed him in looting spree instead of indicting for killing Kenyans.Right now Kenya is being ruled by gangsters led by Uhuru who have even confessed stealing shs 2b.daily but some idiots are defending him saying he represents their Gikuyu in EATING.

What comes from this politician is confounding at the least. At one time he wants to shake hands and at other times he blames his boss and back and forth. If he wants to be a bitching dude all the time then he should stick to bitching all the time. All he is interested in is his own pockets. It is not going to be a surprise if he wins for there are many ignorant folks ready to vote him in.

Ni Lazima WaKenya wote wazalendo watilie mkazo ya kwamba, mtu yeyote anayetaka kugombea kiti chochote nchini cha uongozi 2022, ni lazima awape DCI na EAAC jina halafu wayachunguze maisha yake yote kabla wananchi hawajajua ni nani anayetaka kugombea kiti chochote cha uongozi.

Jamani tumechoka! Tumechoka kuona majambazi na isitoshe matapeli wakihujumu uchumi wa nchi kwa manufaa yao na raha zao binafsi.

Wazazi wangu wote hawana uhusiano wowote na asili ya WaKamba. Nimetaja jambo hili kwa sababu wasomaji wenhgine wanaweza kufikiria ya kwamba, nataka mmoja wa asili yangu kuchaguliwa rais 2022.

Nawaombeni wananchi nyote mfikirie Ndugu yetu KIVUTHA KIBWANA kama mtu ambaye anaweza kuondoa mende, kupe, viroboto, chawa, na wadudu wengine nchini na kuiletea nchi ya Kenya heshima tena.

Nina hakika Ndugu yetu KIVUTHA KIBWANA atawachagua viongozi kutoka kila sehemu yote nchini kutoka kwenye mataifa madogo (micronations) 44 kama vile Ndugu yetu Joe Biden rais wa nchi ya Marekani alivyofanya alipowateua watu kutoka kile sehemu ya WaMarekani kwenye uongozi wake.

Ndugu yetu Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto yafaa aambiwe aanze kutafuta kazi ya kufundisha kwenye Chuo Kikuu atakapomaliza awamu yake ya pili 2022 kwa sababu alitumia wakati wake na vifaa vyote vya serikali kusoma na kumaliza shahada yake ya uvamivu (PhD) huku akiwa naibu wa rais!
