Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) boss Francis Atwoli has castigated Deputy President William after he said President Uhuru Kenyatta has no plans to cling to power.
On Thursday, Atwoli said that the second in command is not President Kenyatta’s spokesperson, adding that he should concentrate on service delivery rather than sideshows.
The trade unionists alluded that Ruto has not been sincere when it comes to matters of national interest.
“We’re going to unmask the DP soon because one cannot disrespect his boss and even fight him through proxies while pretending to speak for him,” he spoke to the Star from Cairo, Egypt.
Atwoli also said that the Deputy President has been using his proxies to intimidate the President as he seeks to leave behind a legacy when he completes his second term in power.
The Cotu boss argued that Ruto has made it clear that the presidency is more important.
“It is Ruto who parades conmen everywhere he goes in the name of Tangatanga,” he said.
Ruto had dismissed allegations that Uhuru intends to extend his term in office come 2022.
The remarks come at the backdrop of the implementation of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report.
Ruto is considered as one of the front runners in the race to succeed Uhuru.
