Deputy President William Ruto is celebrating his 53rd birthday today, 21st December 2019.
A number of Kenyans have flooded social media platforms to wish the DP a happy birthday, including Digital Strategist Dennis Itumbi who found himself on the receiving end after he penned down a special message to the second in command.
Taking to his social media pages, Itumbi showered the DP with praises calling him a true friend a politician who understood and valued humanity.
“You are a politician who understands and who has humanity right at the centre of your being. For 9 years you have always offered your guidance, mentorship and most importantly friendship. There are no ups and downs when it comes to you, you call, listen, admonish, share stories and each time any of us is down you call and literally cheer us up. Bosses come in many forms, you are a firm, friendly and great boss,” Itumbi posted.
Happy Birthday DP @WilliamsRuto,
I am happy to call you a friend, a practical mentor, a boss, my DP & God Willing, the 5th President of The Republic of Kenya.
Proverbs 4:25 – ” Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.”https://t.co/eAkS2x884n

Itumbi further went ahead to tell him that the fact that they prayed together every Wednesday created a bond that was only unique to him.
“The fact that we pray together for self, family and the Nation every Wednesday – bonds us in a way that is only unique to you.
May your birthday, shower blessings along your path, clear the endless hurdles put your way and where the hurdles must remain, may God hand you enough stamina to jump each of them.
I pray that your birthday, begins the short two year journey to the fulfilment of the dream of a sunrise whose Golden rays are shaping beautifully and elegantly in the daily horizon of your hardwork, sincerity and sacrifice.
I am happy to call you a friend, a practical mentor, a boss, my Deputy President and God Willing the 5th President of The Republic of Kenya.
My last word, Proverbs 4:25 – ” Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.”
Happy Birthday! Salute!” the long post reads.
The message did not augur well with a number of Kenyans who suggested that he was so obsessed with Ruto while others accused him of being after the DP’s money.
Here are some of the comments:
“Itumbi you just love Dp money, nothing more.happy birthday daktari,” said Jared Oyoo Ouko. Itumbi replied immediately saying that he was comfortable with what he earned and he didn’t need the DP to pay him anything.
” I am happy with what I earn bro. It is not much. But comfortable. I am grateful. I therefore do not need DP to pay me anything,” Itumbi replied.
No problem. I still will serve

HBD @WilliamsRuto Blessed Earthstrong!@OleItumbi Help me understand this. What has he achieved in the current govt as DP to warrant us to vote for him as President come 2022? What wouldn’t he have achieved that requires him as President to do so? Convince me and he has my vote.
