Ruto to Raila: You are part of Jubilee failures

Deputy President William Ruto has stated that Raila Odinga's ODM party is partly to blame for  the government failures. 

According to Ruto, through the Handshake, the Opposition party has been part of the running of Jubilee government for the past three years. 

The Deputy President was speaking at his Karen home on Friday when he made the remarks, adding that ODM caused the government to deviate from its Big Four Agenda plan.

 “You came and changed the Government’s priorities from the Big Four Agenda to alternative ones like the Building Bridges Initiative. Now, after you have failed miserably, you want to run away.” he said

Ruto asserted that Raila and his party should be held accountable for the current failures in the country. 

“You must bear the consequences for the derailment of Jubilee’s development agenda. You cannot point fingers at others,” Ruto stated.

Earlier, the Deputy President held talks with the Members of County Assembly from Mandera County led by Majority Leader Abdi Adan Ali.

He defended discussions about the needs and aspirations of ordinary Kenyans, asking politicians not to criminalise such efforts. 

Ruto added his 'hustler nation' narrative is not meant to divide Kenyans but to highlight and address the plight of poor Kenyans for the purpose of national conversation.
