Deputy President William Ruto's reaction to the recent Ipsos Synovate opinion poll result was poor, miscalculated and can be easily misunderstood.
The firm on Wednesday released a poll ranking him the most corrupt Kenyan, a report he has since rubbished, claiming that that it was most likely sponsored by his rivals.
He has further claimed that is is being used by people who cannot come to terms with his success despite coming from a poor background, noting no one in his lineage was either the President or any other top government official.
In a tweet immediately after the release of the report, Ruto hit back in a firm, terming the result a satanic gospel seeking to victimize him for making it politically despite being a nobody.
Ruto who is keen on succeeding President Uhuru Kenyatta has been using the narrative alongside his allies, a rather insultive statement, considering that its only his boss Uhuru who rode on his dad's name to become President.
None of the three other presidents hailed from popular families, with his remarks apparently seeking to overlook Uhuru whose succeess can largely be attributed to the foundation hisbfather set.
His father, Jomo Kenyatta, was the first President of Kenya.
He has also gone ahead to proceed on unending rants ever since, even overtaking Uhuru who has remained calm despite also appearing in the list.
With the opinions emerging from Kenyans, Ruto has been portrayed as a hindrance to Uhuru's anti graft campaign.
This is because it is a blow that many Kenyans still observe him as corrupt despite being the second in command to the one leading the campaign and who is expected to be supporting his boss.
