During the launch of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) on Monday, October 26, President Uhuru Kenyatta insinuated that Ruto had abandoned the course making it difficult for him to pass the presidency to him.
Uhuru stated that the DP was relentlessly following his own different path from what his government was trying to achieve.
“This is a relay and we all know that in such a race, you cannot pass the button to someone who has chosen to run in the opposite direction,” the President said.
He further claimed that Ruto and himself were brought together by a common goal, but the DP has taken a different path.
“We started together, but when we got to the middle, the 2022 politics brought war and he forgot everything else. That is why I am suggesting we slow down, the rest will just come,” added the president.
Uhuru also noted that Ruto was part and parcel of the BBI report since the beginning.
“I also want to thank my deputy president because all I know, along that path, I kept him abreast of what was going on. He was part and parcel, it is the truth. I am not lying, you can ask him.
“In fact, he helped me identify some of the people I just mentioned here, and the purpose as I had told him and as we agreed with Raila, was never to talk about what shall happen tomorrow in terms of elective posts. I said it was an extension of what I and you did in 2013,” he added.
