DP Ruto urges voters to reject leaders 'imposed on them'
Deputy President William Ruto has told his
supporters that they have the final say on who becomes the next president, and
dismissed the narrative that ‘deep state’ could block him from ascending to
power.
Ruto, who was on his third day tour of Western
region, continued to popuralize his bottom-up economic model.
He reiterated that the outcome of the August
8 general elections will be decided by votes cast, while rubbishing the
narrative that forces within government were keen to upset his ambition to win
the presidential race.
“Si tunataka rais
mwenye atatufanyia kazi? Sasa hawa watu nataka niwaambie we will not accept ati
tutengenezewe rais,” he told Busia residents.
The DP told the Busia electorate not to
accept leaders who are imposed on them, urging them to instead support his bid.
“Tuko na sera, hawana sera. Tuko na track
record, hawana track record. Tumepanga chama ya ma-hustler wote UDA, chama yao
haijulikani ni gani,” he stated.
Ruto held rallies in Changara in Teso North,
Logiri market, Andungosi and Budalangi to shore up support for his hustler movement.
“Hawa vijana si wa kupatiwa
handouts, hawa vijana ni wa kupangiwa ajira, kila mtu anataka kusimamia familia
yake akiwa na kazi ama biashara,” stated the DP.
Former lawmakers Ababu Namwamba, Arthur Odera
and Mary Emase said Ruto was best suited to take over from President Uhuru
Kenyatta as the fifth president.
“Huyu jamaa
amefanya mambo, na anaposema tutabadilisha Kenya, ni ukweli atabadilisha Kenya.
Hapa sisi watu wa Busia tumeamua hatutaenda tena safari ambayo haina sababu…tutatembea
na hustler,” said Namwamba.
