Opposition chief Raila Odinga has seconded calls towards the resignation of the Deputy President William Ruto.
In an interview with a local radio station on Friday, Raila accused Ruto of doublespeak, arguing that the DP has been associating himself with some of the successful projects in government while also criticizing the same government.
“When things are not going your way, you should be principled and resign. Otherwise, future generations will judge you harshly.” Raila said
“This is not the first time we are facing such a situation. My father Jaramogi was not fired. He realized he was not assigned duties so he wrote his resignation to the president, ”he added.
Jaramogi was the first vice-president of Kenya and in 1966 he resigned following fallout with then-President Jomo Kenyatta, father of current President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Three days ago,in an interview with the editors, President Uhuru Kenyatta dared his deputy to quit if he felt dissatisfied.
The Head of State said, “I have an agenda that I was elected on. The honourable thing to do if you are not happy with it is to step aside and allow those who want to move on to do so, then take the agenda to the people.”
