Raila is a Conman and Saboteur, William Ruto Says
Deputy President William Ruto has fired a fresh attack on Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga.
While responding to a section of MPs who asked him to resign for allegedly undermining President Kenyatta, DP Ruto described Odinga as a conman and saboteur.
In a tweet on Thursday, Ruto also labeled Odinga a party wrecker and master of chaos who never concedes defeat.
“Waheshimiwa, the real SABOTEUR is your master the people's conman who uses deceit to divide/destroy parties even UHURU's Jubilee; the master of chaos who factors violence in election equations; the one who never accepts defeat. We'll stand with UHURU&Jubilee against such dictators,” DP Ruto tweeted.
Ruto was reacting to a story by The Standard where over 20 MPs accused him of attacking government officials and planning to scuttle Uhuru's handshake deal with Odinga.
The MPs drawn from Jubilee, ODM, Ford Kenya, Wiper and Kanu dared him to quit instead of fighting the government from within.
Since last week’s Kibra by-election, Ruto has been attacking Odinga and ODM party in a series of tweets.
“Tinga (Raila) and his party’s trail of political conmanship and deceit from Kanu through Cord to Nasa, and now heading to Jubilee and litany of violence from '82 coup to Kibra cannot be hidden behind the BBI.”
“As a minimum, he must publicly renounce violence as a political tool and undertake to accept defeat,” he tweeted on Wednesday.

H.E Raila Odinga is the most intriguing and misunderstood public figure in the Kenyan history.Those who love him do so to the letter, and those who hate him do so on their own volition. But he’s not an intriguer. In William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, a character opines thus — some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Rarely do people hit this trifecta. But Raila Odinga is one of the chosen few for which all three nuggets of wisdom are true. When Raila Odinga plans, his opponents think he’s plotting a " coup". When he’s sleeping, his detractors think he’s awake. He confuses his foes and unintentionally entices his friends. That’s because of his humility. Men with such commanding social and political capital can wield it with whim. H.E Raila Odinga remains the centre of gravity of Kenya’s politics. Raila Odinga bestrides Kenya’s political landscape like a colossus, his person and persona are public institutions.
Long live my political mentor,
father of the Nation and Kenya's enigma.

The biggest mistake the hustler keeps making is trying to outshine his master. Weirdly, He looks desperate and dejected. Mount kenya will always back Uhuru, because there's no other choice. Western, nyanza, Coast are all locked by other leaders. He has zero political clout in Nairobi. In rift valley, his support is constrained to North rift, and even there, he has no absolute control.
His running mouth is his biggest problem. His politics of church and school donations, plus "tutawaletea barabara, stima na maji" are so moi-era and do not resonate with the majority of the population.
Kenyans need an opportunity to earn money. Give jobs to the youth, give farmers market opportunities, lower taxes, make cost of living bearable, tackle corruption, address insecurity.
Sio kushinda ukiambia watu utaleta stima na maji.Utalialia kila siku RAILA....A wise man need to device a method of beating his competitor. Ukiwa Darasani and One student keeps scoring high marks you device mechanism of dislodging him not calling his name and a buses,,,,KUMBAFU KABISA. Kenya want smart politics competion

@Sura Mbaya with your mouth diarrhea, Dp Ruto hataki your below-average understanding of Kenyan politics. Take it to the bank, your rusted brain baba RailaO. has been tamed. He will never be a president period! Kaleos gave him a whole basket of votes from R.V 2007 but he turned around and betrayed his voters after being handed P.M position. No one trusts this oldhead apart from his so claimed bedroom hapo Kibra. I wonder why one would vote for this old mganga?
Wow Ruto - just look at you…

Wow Ruto - just look at you calling others conmen and so many other ugly names!! Kshs 21 billions has not yet exited your pockets!? Do you really want to call Raila a conman while you surely lead the pack of conmanship? It is very unfortunate for a country to have a DP with a very thin skin and a hyena’s double speaking mouth! What a shame! Really??
