Deputy President William Ruto has yet again come under scathing attack from Cherangany MP Joshua Kutuny, who now wants him to quit the government and seek refuge outside the country.
Dr Ruto, despite being in government with President Uhuru Kenyatta, has often blamed the partnership between the president and Raila Odinga, besides questioning the fight against corruption.
At Kaplamai on Tuesday, a rejuvenated Kutuny sarcastically said that the government is being run by President Uhuru Kenyatta, ODM leader Raila Odinga and himself.
“I want to say that even if you oppose the handshake, it’s going nowhere, it’s here to stay. If you’re tired with it, just quit and get out of this country and leave us in peace,” said Kutuny.
He added: “If you cannot sustain the fight against corruption, just quit and leave this country for patriots like Uhuru. By the way, the government is run by Baba (Raila), Uhuru and myself.”
Mr Kutuny, Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter and Moiben’s Silas Tiren, have been leading onslaught against Deputy President William Ruto for many months now. They accuse him of doing little to help maize farmers.
But on Tuesday, Soy MP Caleb Kositany and Uasin Gishu speaker David Kiplagat, accused the three legilators of undermining the DP. According to Kositany, Mr Kutuny is ungrateful to what the DP did to transform his life.
