Deputy President William Ruto has sensationally claimed Bomet Governor Isaac Rutto and President Moi’s son, Gideon, also Baringo Senator, are secretly praying he be locked up at the International Criminal Court at the Hague.
The DP who has been awoken by the surprise rise of both Rutto and the younger Moi claim the two wants to inherit the Kalenjin vote in case he is convicted by the ICC.
Speaking at Sururu, Njoro Constituency in Nakuru County, the DP claimed that intensified political activities in parts of Central Rift led by the Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto revolve around the criminal case he is facing alongside radio journalist Joshua Sang.
Sources claim the DP became emotional about the issue and went as further as invoking Kalenjin cultural norms which he said warn against wishing ‘bad things’ to happen to a brother.
“I have tried with a lot of difficulty to understand why the likes of Isaac Ruto are fighting me. If you see them, inform them to continue digging the grave for Ruto but remind them not to dig deep because they might find themselves inside the same,” he said.
Ruto dismissed attempts by the two leaders and their surrogates to create another centre of power, saying the Kalenjin community already have ‘leadership at hand’.
He said the Kalenjin nation already has leadership at hand and therefore could not see the reason for a section of the Rift Valley leaders to champion for alternative leadership.
“Some people who are used to political greed and endless leadership wrangles could not believe that we could work so well with the President and that is what this noise you hear is all about, the relationship we have with Uhuru compared with that of Kibaki and Raila is like day and night,” he added.
Last week, Governor Rutto and Senator Moi sent shock-waves in the Rift Valley when they held an 8-hr closed door meeting at the Mara Hotel. The two were joined by Kericho Governor Prof Paul Chepkwony and Maa Senator Stephen Ole Ntutu.
Ruto also directly lashed at Gideon Moi for attempting to revive KANU, calling the Independence Party a ‘spent tool’.
“This party initially belonged to Uhuru’s father before former President Moi took over, then the current President who has abandoned it. This is a spent tool that can no longer appeal to the people of Kenya although they claim its fresh,” said Ruto.

Hahahahahahaha!!!!! Very interesting that the stick Ruto used so effectively to demonize Raila is now hanging around his neck. Perhaps not like an albatross but close. Ruto lied and used it to whip emotions against Raila to a devastating effect and I think he might be beginning to harvest the genie he sowed in high seas..

William Ruto must wake up and know that he is in Kenya of 42 Tribes who were in Independence for 52 years now since 1963. Does Ruto think these 42 Tribes does not know Kenya? Why is he fighting his Brothers Isaac Ruto and Gideon Moi for nothing? And what is he and Uhuru want to Teach Kenyans who are mature? I can tell him to cool down and look behind to see what has happened to Kenyans before he run forward in Darkness. I am myself and I know Kenya from the beginning and where the end will be. Be careful with People. There is no a fool in Kenya except Kenyans had liked “Respect” but don’t mistake them when they will throw you out of the line of Kenya. It is me saying Trust it or don’t Trust it but you will know it later. (ITRS/SSR).

This is absolutely nonsense. Kenya is bigger than one person
Joseph Opanda says
It was Raila, then Mutea Iringo and Nancy Gitau, it now Gideon Moi and Isaac Rutto, who next? Yes. I can see it. It started in Nyanza, went to Central and has come back to the Rift Valley. How I pray that I (I mean the former Western Province) WAS and IS NOT part of the conspirators that want our GOOD brother, HE, the DP of the Republic of Kenya, to end up behind bars. Let god vindicate him.

What goes around comes around: that maxim couldn’t be more truer in this case! But hey, Is every Human being in Kenya trying to use ICC to fight Ruto? I thought Ruto had already finished Milking that pet and will come up with something new. But one thing is for sure, if you see Ruto using ICC against fellows from his Rift, then know that things are really elephant and desperate times call for desperate measures……….ICC is the most desperate when used against fellow Rift.

Year 2017 pre-Election jitters …!!
Mambo Bado …
Sadly , in due course ,… the usual gamut of regional “chess” games , intrigues ,
thuggary , negative ethnicity , dirty tricks and sponsored law-breaking will
rear its ugly head again …
Many will suffer …. but as usual , no one will be held accountable …
Such is the politics of our land …

William Ruto..lest you firget…the same measure you use to others is the same mwasure that will be used to you. All your wrongful insults to Raila Odinga. It is payback time. Enjoy as the drama continues
Dr Henri Wafula says
Atuti-let’s not talk of payback time now-it is too early for such-this is a sign of political maturity in the kalenjin nation whereby some leaders have analysed the situation and seen the risks facing the DP. He should also be seeing this and his lawyers should be advising him accordingly. Ruto is attending court as an accused person. There is a very realistic risk that he might be found guilty. He is also aware of this and even his family is aware of this. Even HE Uhru is also aware of this. So, there must be some contingencies that those who either share the same powers or are somehow related to Ruto must have in mind. Even Uhuru has these plans-if he is not telling Ruto then there is something wrong here. They must surely sit down and say to each other-“sasa wewe kama huyu mama Ben atakuchukua mimi nitabaki na nani??” And Ruto will say”Oh man!! You don’t say that!! It is bad luck!!” Uhuru replies “Hey, we have to be realistic-no head in the sand anymore!” And Ruto finally says” I think Murkomen will do!” Uhuru shoots him a look like he has just swallowed muratina that has brewed for ten years!-no words -just the look is enough!!
Atuti-am I almost right here-without jeopardising the grave digging threat being directed at me-please help! These are fought times-grave diggers we have all become indeed. Problem is I don’t have a plot of land where I can dig mine!

Bill Ruto always campaigns as a victim. In 2007, it was Kibaki was sacking Kales in govt. In 2013 it was Raila fixing kales at the hauge and in mau. In 2017 it will be Gideon Moi/Isaac Ruto betraying Kales at the icc.

We the latest appointments,it is clear ruto star in jubilee is diminishing ?
he was used as vote getting machine and paid for his services and that’s all.
now his base in jubilee is being loosened.
he is now picking enemies everywhere.
gedion and Isaac have nothing to do with the frustrations jubilee Mets on him and his support base.
he should face his jubilee allies and demand his bargain.
bringing in wamalwa is another wedge for him.

True that
[email protected] says
Guys reality is setting in, both uhuru, and ruto they know that. What guys you’re forgetting is that, both of the two guys are under water. Uhuru is running to western Kenya which I guess is a hard brick to crack, and what is funny Bill ruto is running to the same direction, which is a dead end for both of them. Rift valley there is no doubt, the rift is widening so fast, and it looks even the old bull (moi) can not be capable of closing it. Me as a senior political analyst/strategist let me reveal to any political junkie in Kenya, that Gideon moi is a hot balloon flying in a hot day, soon or later it will burst so bad. The big threat uhuruto are facing now, and which leads up to 2017 is Isaac ruto, and not giddy moi as most people think. And governor ruto him too knows that for him to sustain a steel backbone, he needs a strong partner which uhuruto will wets their beds when they hear him coughing or sneezing. That partner is nobody than the man from lake, or the grand kid of great lwanda magera. So when uhuru or ruto goes to bed they constantly dream that, that nightmare merger is inevitable come 2017. That is why they invited the old moi to see if he could pull giddy from joining that nightmare team. And the funny thing is that the old mzee does not like Bill ruto, so it’s going to be hard to save this marriage between uhuru and Bill. The polls which were put out last week, were meant to create confusion in the electorate at large, and there intent was not genuine.

Hahaa…Mr Dp avoid blaming ur younger brothers instead bring them closer and chat with them the way forward,I tell you guyz,Isaac is nt such a young infamous politician but a blasting furnace……Dp dumping him was just bur a great moment to Raila(2007 union) they both missed thea great and great chances in 2007..

Ruto has forecast his future,n wants to cast blame on his two brothers..he hasn’t even realized the president has left him, he is now out working as the president indecisively having come out of the jaws of ICC. Watch this space,,, DP is done,,n in 2017, we nid a new man.with a different vehicle-not even JAp..

Mr. DP please carry your own cross.
The hegue case remember is personal as you stated earlier no one is interested in it.
you are the dpof one kenya and not the R.vally dp.
Next time you may complian ofyour own family.
KIPLAGAT KOECH says
DP is just launching a very huge battle against Isaack Ruto,Gedion Moi,for real as a Kalenjin,that is a single most dangerous accusation that has potential of finishing any further political ambition by the Duo rivals,Isaack and Gedion,I can assure you if Ruto is locked in ICC,Gedion and Isaack are doomed politically in Kalenjin land.’The implication of Dps claim is very dangerous to all since kales will reject both for wishing bad luck to their son’.
