I’m not a child Ruto can scold whenever he wants- Raila tells of President Ruto.
Speaking at the burial ceremony of Mzee Jerusha Odero at Bondo in Siaya County, Raila refuted claims that he has made his supporters slaves.
He stated that he has never promoted his own interests but the will of Kenyans. He added that President Ruto does not scare him off, his protests will go on as planned.
He stated,”Ruto cannot scare me. Can he really?” he posed. “I’m not a child that he can scold as he so wishes.”
“Ruto, therefore, doesn’t have any authority to lecture me on the demos,” he added.
Raila further outlined that really won the elections, this according to the whistleblower. He added that he has valid reasons to protests and no one has a right to call them off.
He stated,”According to an IEBC whistleblower who gave us the results, I got 8.1 million votes, while Ruto got 5.9 million votes in the 2022 presidential polls. In the same election, the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition had more governors, MPs and MCAs than the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.”
Notably, Raila outlined that it is unbelievabe for Azimio to have more seats in the polls but lose in the presidential poll.
He posed,”How could it be that Azimio had more elected leaders across the cadres, only to lose the presidential seat?”
This comes after president Ruto, during his Kisii tour, implored the Kisio residents to support him instead of following Raila blindly.
He stated,”When will you ever campaign for me? Why are you holding protests against my government?” Let him return the favour and vote for me, I suffered a lot while supporting him.”
“Instead of planning anti-government protests,you should prepare to vote for me,” Ruto added.
