Deputy President William Ruto intensified his onslaught against ODM leader Raila Odinga on Friday, arguing that his narrative and riddles approach to issues cannot solve issues affecting Kenyans.
Last month in Migori, Mr Odinga dismissed Ruto's antagonist attacks to his ways of doing politics, arguing that 'he is a doctor trying to heal the country'.
"Some people like calling me a witch and say I use lots of proverbs while talking. Yes, I am a doctor because President Uhuru Kenyatta and I are trying to heal what has been ailing this country," he said as quoted by the Nation.
In most of his functions, Dr Ruto has been accusing Raila of being a 'witch' and has never failed to take chances whenever he's addressing people to question Raila's ability to lead.
"Sijui vitendawili hapa, kule ooh, mnadhani Kenya itabadalika namna hiyo? Kindly stop those games. Lazima tujipange namna hiyo na tutazidi kutembea hapa ili tuhakikishe tunatembea barabara moja. Na hiyo barabara ni ya wananchi wote. Tulenge vile Kenya itabadilika kupitia miradi na mipango ya maendeleo," he said at Budalang'i on Friday.
It loosely translates to: "Can Kenyan be changed with proverbs? Kindly let's stop these games. We must be prepared and I'll continue coming here. We must work together. Let's walk together, Kenya can only be changed with projects and development programmes."
Dr Ruto is keen to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta and has been traversing the country popularizing his bid. He has often said that if he loses, he will retire peacefully.
For Odinga, he's yet to declare his 2022 presidential bid. In his recent addresses, he has often maintained that Kenya should fix 2017 issues before talking about 2022.
