Deputy President William Ruto has hinted that he is being targeted with the lifestyle audit because he is a son of a poor man.
Below is an excerpt from the interview with NTV’s Mark Maasai at the DP’s official residence in Karen.
Mark Masai: Do you support a lifestyle audit? How much is William Ruto worth?
William Ruto: Mark, If you can recall, I was among the first people to welcome the President’s directive and said that I would be among the first to submit myself into the process. As for what I am worth, that is a discussion we can have another day. I have seen you’ve (Media) done an audit about me already. I expected you to go ahead and do audits of other leaders but it seems you were only interested in William Ruto.
Mark Masai: Can we have that discussion here?
William Ruto: No. Can you tell me what you are worth? Is it relevant here? You see, you have to wait and when the process starts, I will be happy because the audit will clear the rumors that the media is carrying, including claims that I own this house behind us here (Karen house),
Mark Masai: Are you saying you are poor?
William Ruto: I am not poor.
Mark Masai: Are you wealthy?
William Ruto: I am not poor, you know why are you focused on William Ruto? I am not the richest man out there like those people we all know about. Last Friday, I was in Kakamega and a man spoke in Swahili and he said, “Mtoto wa maskini akipata, ameiba na mtoto wa tayiri akipata ni ya baba yake” and I found it so profound.

GOING INTO POLITICS IN ORDER TO BE FILTHY RICH BY LOOTING PUBLIC RESOURCES USING NATIONAL APPARATUS LIKE POLICE AND OTHER SECURITY PERSONNEL WHOSE SALARIES ARE BILLED TO ALL KENYAN TAXPAYERS IS AN ULTIMATE CORRUPTION; THE WORST KIND!
WHEN CONFRONTED WITH THESE FACTS, THESE POLITICIANS START ASKING WHY THEY ARE BEING SINGLED OUT!! THEY DO NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, OTHER THAN THEIR THIEVERY AND LOOTING, THERE IS NO DEVELOPMENT OTHER THAN THOSE GIGANTIC HOTELS ACCOMMODATING FOREIGN TOURISTS ( FEW KENYAN CAN AFFORD TO BUY A BOTTLE OF SODA AT THESE HOTELS, LEAVE LONE AFFORD A ROOM THERE). SOME OF THE TOURIST COME OVER HERE TO FEED ON THE GAME MEAT WHICH AFRICAN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HUNT AND ALSO TO MOLEST AND CORRUPT KENYAN UNDERAGE YOUTHS WHICH LEAVES FAMILIES IN RUINS!
WHY THESE KENYAN ELITES DESERVE TO HOLD IN POLITICAL OFFICES IS MYSTERY THAT NEEDS TO BE VIVIDLY EXPLAINED! THEY ARE NOT SERVING KENYANS INTERESTS!!
THESE ELITES ARE IN ALSO PARTNERSHIP WITH FOREIGN CARTELS WHOSE MAIN INTEREST IS THE CONTROL OF ALL KENYAN RESOURCES INCLUDING LAND RESOURCES FOR FARMING! THAT IMPLIES ONLY ONE THING,; GETTING RID OF OR DISCOURAGING THE LOCAL POPULATION FROM FARMING, THUS, MAKING THEM DEPENDENT AS SLAVE LABORERS IN THEIR MOTHERS’ LAND!!
WHY IS THIS OKAY???
