Ruto criticised his critics, wondering why they accuse him of 'loitering around the country without any agenda' and campaigning for himself.

"No one should ask me why I keep touring different parts of the country because I am doing job as the deputy president," Ruto said on Saturday while in Vanga, Kwale County.

"..na mtu asiulize kwanini nimekuja Vanga, mbona Ruto sijui ameenda wapi? Hii ni kazi ya naibu wa rais. Mimi nimechanguliwa kama naibu wa rais na kazi ya naibu ndio hii nafanya."

The DP indicated he was assigned by the president and the constitution of Kenya to work for Kenyans and so nobody should criticise him whenever he tours the country to do his work.

"Hii kazi nafanya ni ile nimechanguliwa kufanya. Wewe kama uko na kazi yako fanya yako wacha nifanye yangu. Na mimi sijalalamkia mtu yoyote kwa hiviyo uslilalamke kwa kazi yangu," he added.

Former Prime Minister and ODM party leader Raila Odinga has occasionally slammed Ruto for allegedly frequently touring the larger coast region to prematurely campaign for himself ahead of 2022.
