In a tweet on Saturday, DP Ruto while reacting to a story by Daily Nation on his purported 'dilemma on BBI' said he will stand with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

"Ruto's big BBI dilemma: With Uhuru Kenyatta backing the Building Bridges Initiative, the Deputy President has no choice but to join the party, unless he can pull a trick out of his bag," read part of Nation's story

In a rejoinder, Ruto tweeted: "DILEMMA? Hapana! No way! Jubilee as a democratic party celebrates the diversity of opinion free of hate and focused on transformation for all; for us big or small matters BUT ultimately as initiators of inclusive non-tribal political discourse we will stand behind our Party & Leader."

Politicians supporting DP Ruto on Friday vowed to shoot down the BBI. One of the politicians who spoke during the function was Mumias East MP Benjamin Washiali who said the BBI meant no good for Kenyans.

"How come it has taken this long to prepare this report? It appears to have an ill-intention for this country,” he said.

His tweet sparked reactions from Kenyans who weighed in on the debate.
