President Uhuru Kenyatta is not your equal, MP Waruguru tells Ruto ¶
Laikipia MP Cate Waruguru has come out guns blazing at Deputy President William Ruto accusing him of disrespecting President Uhuru Kenyatta by engaging in early 2022 campaigns.
Waruguru, who recently jumped ship into Uhuru's handshake canoe, said Ruto was the biggest pretender in Kenyan politics because as he was busy sabotaging Uhuru’s agenda for the country and playing victim at the same time.
Speaking in Solio village on Sunday, July 12, during distribution of food to the vulnerable families due to coronavirus pandemic as well as awarding cheques, tents, and tanks to various women and youth groups in the area, Waruguru said Ruto should shelve his 2022 political ambitions and respect the president failure to which the Mt Kenya region will support someone else in the 2022 presidential elections.
"The Kikuyu kingpin is Uhuru Kenyatta, William Ruto failed the exam, he is leading a rebellion and disrespecting the president, Uhuru called us and told Ruto 'after my 10 years I will lead your campaigns' but Ruto became impatient," she said.
Waruguru further noted it was unfortunate that Ruto was crying foul and playing the victim card at the expense of poor Kenyans.
"William Ruto is not being insulted at his home ground, so Uhuru should be respected too," she added.
Interestingly, Waruguru was one of the strong supporters of the DP until recently when he ditched the Tanga Tanga team after meeting ODM party leader Raila Odinga.
