Deputy President William Ruto Deletes Tweet After Online Backlash
Deputy President William Ruto has been forced to delete a video he posted on Twitter on Tuesday morning after he faced online backlash.
DP Ruto shared the video clip showing two police officers fighting over an alleged bribe but later deleted it after Kenyans online branded him a ‘blogger’.
“The issue of the police officer mishandling locals in Marafa was brought to my attention by Magarini MP Michael Kingi and I promptly informed security officers of the same and the IG has acted. The officer will appear in court. We should be civil & humane in handling the public,” DP Ruto tweeted.
In the video, the two policemen are seen arguing after flagging down two motorbike riders who were ferrying sacks of charcoal. The two riders are then seen trying to attack one of the officers who quickly draws his gun.
An argument follows with the cop wearing plain clothes telling his colleague to let the two riders go as he had already received a bribe. The incident allegedly happened in Magarini, Kilifi County.
Before the video was deleted from his timeline, Kenyans on Twitter said DP Ruto had lowered himself to a blogger.
Dnamano tweeted: “You have been reduced to posting videos of what Kenyans go through, just resign bratha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.”
Kenya West wondered: “Itumbi certain things you leave for news anchors and bloggers to tweet. This is a whole DP’s account tweeting news? SMH.”
Sir Mancini Mancini said: “What is going on here? Why is a whole Deputy President blogging? Where is @OleItumbi . This is Itumbi’s job. Heh! Bwana DP, kweli #Utawezana na blogging?”
Brian Mamboleo noted: “Ruto has once more assigned himself the role government spokesman Cyrus Oguna…ooh!Poor me!”
Echogreen posed: “Wapi free sanitizers to our wanainchi? Wapi masks kwa wale hawawezi afford? Umeongezea madaktari na nurses mshahara? Achana na kazi zenye local police post can deal with! Please.”

With this lockdown Kenyans are starving not knowing where their next meal will come from. Doctors nurses do not have PPE and Kenyans are stranded in Middle East, China and India. This DP is busy tweeting mucene instead of making the Kenyan life better. He has stolen so much and all he thinks about is elections 2022. He will never be president, he is a foolish man who is short sighted.

All masters of gossips know that it sells to district the real issues. Ruto is trying to steal the show against the evils of coronavirus and other urgent national matters which go undone.
He is trying to distract those working hard to keep the nation moving on as he tends to his chicken and cabbage businesses; among others.
Ruto wants all the attention directed to him as he competes with those who have died from coronavirus pandemic - that’s why he is talking louder for the dead to hear him.
It is very sad what Kenyans are witnessing from a man they elected as their DP to serve them. We are done with Ruto.
Wow, we need a new hero to work for us!

People are dying of coronavirus and hunger while he is out here daring folks like a little kid!! Are you a man, or some other sex; God forbid!! Quit since you are defeated with the DP job. Trash, trash, wewe mafi ya Kuku na kubafu!!

DP Ruto has reduced himself into a little girls league! The boys club won’t even take him in because he will disgrace them by his actions.
We can’t allow this man to continue to self destroy himself. His kind of twitting is what a makanga tout should be doing! Or, a Lone Ranger fella with psychiatric mental disorders.
How did a whole DP stoop this below far below the belt? Quit Ruto!!

The personal insecurities displayed by this DP Ruto are beyond correction. What is haunting the DP - Kinei’ ghost spirits? May be Ruto should switch seats with Itumbi as they are both of the same caliber, mentally!!

Wow DP Ruto!? Has Murathe gotten that deep in your head??? A thorn in your fresh you are having a difficult time pulling out? A good leader is realized during the times of national crisis! You have failed every 5th grade test to be that good leader for Kenya! You are too full of sh@t about yourself! You don’t care about ordinary Kenyans and their plights!

WSR, Mzee Moi fetched you from University and you peed on Him. The Kalenjin community supported him and all he has done is eat their children. All ICC witness starting with Yebei, and obviously Sgt. Kipyegon Kenei. When Ruto burned Kikuyu women and children in the House of God some thought it was over. NO. That curse will haunt him and those who support him FOR EVER.
Never listen to his lies about being a Christian, He picks Christ whenever it’s convenient but he is the devil incarnate.

Precisely; well said!! We in the Rift Valley are equally tired 😓 of this man. Did you say he eat our people? The truth is he killed every body who witnessed the wrongs he had done; mainly to the Kikuyus! SGT Kinei was killed for knowing to many evil secrets. But the truth will one day come out. That is why people need to know who DP Ruto is to avoid making major mistakes which will cause the entire country to burn after 2022.

A Kenya’s DP Ruto is out here talking foolishness in a day Kenyans are being killed by coronavirus, and other Kenyans are being harassed and beaten in 🇨🇳 China!
The Kenyans going through hardship in China are the future leaders who could up to Ruto for guidance in serving Kenyans, but Ruto is AWOL in providing that leadership!
Where are the DP Ruto priorities placed? This man Ruto is so self consumed with self politics, foolish nonsense and utter childishness to a point he has forgotten that he was elected to serve others; and not his personal interests! This is very unusual for a DP Ruto to behave like a child!
Kenyans must part ways with this self admiring Ruto!

DP Ruto is like a wounded and de-crawled lion locked up is tiny cage! Any time he wants to bite he finds that the cage is too small to extend his old prowess.
The only way for him to survive is to have Murkomen, Barasa, Sudi, and Didi Nyoro throw a few pieces of raw meat next to the cage! He only looks at the carcass, leak his mouth and goes to sleep hungry! It will take Angels to rescue him from this pit of hell!

The passage of time have shown that Ruto has lost the intrinsic leadership values required of Deputy president! In the old days, a leader of his character was discarded in a tightly sealed political dustbin, and forgotten. Time has come for all of us to reconsider the use of the same old medium against Ruto.
