Deputy President William Ruto Not Qualified to be President, Martha Karua Says

NARC Kenya party leader Martha Karua says Deputy President William Ruto is not qualified to be the country's 5th president.

Taking to twitter, Karua has asked Ruto supporters to stop dragging her name into their campaigns because she would never endorse his State House bid.

"That is true! I hold the view that William Ruto is the least qualified for the job (presidency) and as such would never endorse him," Karua notes.

Karua was responding to reports doing rounds on social media claiming that she has endorsed Ruto's 2022 presidential bid.

"Just leave me out of it and I will not be bothered," she further says.

Karua, who lost the race for Kirinyaga Governor seat to Anne Waiguru of Jubilee party, has always expressed her reservations on the Deputy President style of leadership.

"I am being very upfront, I will not support him (in 2022). Its called choice in democracy," she previously said on NTV's Side Bar.

"Mimi sijakubali kamwe! (I do not agree at all) that Ruto will be the next president of Kenya," Karua said in the past.

Whata is all these clamor about 2022 its pratically four years away.Those who are lining up for 2022 are not being productive since they are distracted,and are only angling for their own selfish reasons. The electorate is quiet,its these politicians agitating.Calm down ,save the people and be patient. A plebiscite for when to start campaigning should be done.That should be the year of the elections.
