Politics is like an addictive drug to those who follow and enjoy it. It continues to trend even after the president himself advising people to focus on other issues currently affecting them and their development.
While speaking in Narok today,Deputy President William Ruto has told leaders to stop the 2022 succession debate and focus on development.
He spoke during the launch of Universal Health Care.
The DP said those worrying about 2022 should stop since the next election is many years away.
“Stop 2022 anxiety, when the time comes we will compete. When the time comes we will do the exam and those who pass will to continue with work and those who fail let them go home,” Ruto said.
“Why are they worried? When we get there we shall battle it out.”Ruto said many people are uneasy with him traversing the country on a development agenda, yet he has a job to do as a DP.
Touching on Narok clashes, the DP urged an end to trials of dividing people.”There is no need of dividing people along tribal lines, that is the highest level of idiocy. Politics of impunity should end,” Ruto said.
Ruto said the Opposition is now working with the government, therefore, politics of ethnicity and hate should stop.
Awhile back Migori Governor Okoth Obado joined Deputy President William Ruto in Nyeri county. Obado said that his presence in Nyeri county was to show solidarity with Nyeri people and to cement his relationship with DP William Ruto.
Obado declared that he was switching camp in order to support the Deputy President in his course for development.
“Is there a problem if I work with Governor Obado? I will continue to work with him to deliver development to our people. I will not mind what is said of our closeness. Let us stop this incessant politics and embrace unity and development. The time will come for us to talk politics,” DP Ruto said during his tour in Migori.
Notably, prior to his arrest and detention, Governor Obado was claimed to having strained ties with his ODM Party.
The DP in Narok also warned public servants not to take part tribal clashes and should instead create harmony.
Ruto later conducted a goat auction to raise funds for the Universal Health Care programme. Last month in Kajiado, the DP carried a backpack of Sh 10 million in another goat auction.
The DP unveiled a CT scan centre at the Narok County Referral Hospital.
Do you believe the DP is not worried about 2022 succession move currently?
