Raila is a Conman and Saboteur, William Ruto Says

Deputy President William Ruto has fired a fresh attack on Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga. 

While responding to a section of MPs who asked him to resign for allegedly undermining President Kenyatta, DP Ruto described Odinga as a conman and saboteur. 

In a tweet on Thursday, Ruto also labeled Odinga a party wrecker and master of chaos who never concedes defeat. 

“Waheshimiwa, the real SABOTEUR is your master the people's conman who uses deceit to divide/destroy parties even UHURU's Jubilee; the master of chaos who factors violence in election equations; the one who never accepts defeat. We'll stand with UHURU&Jubilee against such dictators,” DP Ruto tweeted.

Ruto was reacting to a story by The Standard where over 20 MPs accused him of attacking government officials and planning to scuttle Uhuru's handshake deal with Odinga.

The MPs drawn from Jubilee, ODM, Ford Kenya, Wiper and Kanu dared him to quit instead of fighting the government from within.

Since last week’s Kibra by-election, Ruto has been attacking Odinga and ODM party in a series of tweets.

“Tinga (Raila) and his party’s trail of political conmanship and deceit from Kanu through Cord to Nasa, and now heading to Jubilee and litany of violence from '82 coup to Kibra cannot be hidden behind the BBI.”

“As a minimum, he must publicly renounce violence as a political tool and undertake to accept defeat,” he tweeted on Wednesday.
