Speaking during a service at the Chepngobop Methodist Church, DP Ruto urged politicians to desist from politics based on ethnicity.

"I want to ask all Jubilee leaders to go back to the ideals which informed the formation of the party. We no longer want to hear the bickering and confrontational politics. We want to find a way of uniting all Kenyans," he said as quoted by Standard.

He further noted that the division in the ruling party was earning popularity in the press.

 "We no longer want to give the press fodder to fill pages with claims that Jubilee is divided here and there. All Jubilee leaders must stop grumbling," he added.

Revisiting his case at the International Criminal Court (ICC), Ruto said his acquittal should contribute to cleansing the country from tribal politics.

“They tried to crucify me through trumped-up charges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) but I decided to pray instead. This was in order to move the country forward and remove hatred and tribal politics and for the last seven years. God had been faithful to me," Ruto said.
