RUTO WILL NOT HAVE A KIKUYU RUNNING MATE- NGUNJIRI WANBUGU
Nyeri town member of parliament Ngunjiri Wambugu now says deputy president William Ruto will not have his running mate from Mount Kenya.
He says this is because Ruto is a shrewd politician.
“William Ruto is a very shrewd politician. The reason he has committed everything he has into Central Kenya is so as to convince Kikuyus that he is ‘mûndû wa nyûmba’. So that we can think he represents our interests. The intention is so that ultimately he can then convince us that we don’t need someone from our community at the Presidency: that with him as President our interests as a community will be taken care of,” said the Nyeri town MP.
He says Ruto is doing this because he knows that with a Kikuyu/Kalenjin, Kalenjin/Kikuyu, Kikuyu/Kalenjin presidency covering a total of close to 45 out of 58 years he knows he certainly does not have the capacity to sell a Kalenjin/Kikuyu ticket again at this 2022 moment.
“So he will keep lying to the Kikuyu’s around him that he will choose one of them. However, near the very end, he will bring in someone from another community to be his running mate. Though it will not make a difference,” he added.
