A local politician from Gusii has told off politicians undermining Deputy President William Ruto following Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i's promotion.
Isaac Onchagwa said desperate politicians should stop spreading propaganda that President Uhuru Kenyatta 'demoted his deputy by promoting Mr Matiang'i'.
"Dr Matiang'i was appointed as the chairman of a cabinet committee, while Ruto is the Principal Assistant to the president. We don't need the constitution to guide us. It is common sense. For those who are peddling lies and guess work in the aim of creating a rift between the President and the DP and to some extent the DP and Dr. Matiang'i should keep off," he said.
The former senatorial aspirant reiterated that Matiang'i's promotion won't derail Dr. DP Ruto's presidential bid in 2022.
"Matiang'i deserved a promotion due to his hard work. He will now help President Uhuru and his Deputy who have bulky, heavy and extra ordinary work. Kenyans will now see accelerated development across the country," he stated.
He urged DP Ruto ignore a section of politicians speaking ill about his 2022 presidential bid and focus on the Jubilee government Big 4 Agenda.
