Ruto to Uhuru: You’re a conman, retire

NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 12 – President William Ruto has renewed his attack on retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, accusing him of betraying their political agreement and misleading other leaders as tensions…

Speaking in Uasin Gishu County on the second day of his development tour of the North Rift, Ruto revisited his fallout with Uhuru, claiming the former president had promised to support his presidential ambitions after serving two terms.

“I, William Ruto, voted for you four times. I stood with you when you began your journey to seek leadership. I stood with you in 2013. I stood with you in 2017. You conned me. You said 10 years of Uhuru, 10 years of Ruto,” he said.

Ruto accused Uhuru of abandoning him when he sought the presidency in 2022, saying the retired president had instead urged Kenyans not to vote for him.

Uhuru backed Raila in the 2022 presidential race, while Ruto won the election and succeeded him as president.

“When the time came for you to stand with me, you conned me, you avoided me, you told Kenyans not to vote for me,” Ruto said.
