Several losers in the Jubilee nominations have blamed DP William Ruto for either directly or indirectly plotting their downfall. One major loser who failed to name the DP directly but chose to dwell on the influential people tag is Kiambu governor William Kabogo. However, MP Waweru who was whitewashed by John Kiare has defended the Ruto and promised to support him till 2022.“Let me categorically state here and now that these reports are completely untrue, unfounded and based on pure malice. For the avoidance of doubt, I am a staunch supporter of the Deputy President and our relationship, both personal and political is very warm,” Waweru said as quoted by Capital.The Chairperson of the Mount Kenya Parliamentary Caucus advised Jubilee to focus on ensuring president Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election and a smooth handover to DP Ruto and shun shifting blame.“I can only term the false reports as manufactured propaganda by my political detractors who are out to poison the good relationship I have with the Deputy President. Jubilee Party primaries are now water under the bridge and the outcome thereof should not be used by my political enemies to discredit and tarnish my name with my close political allies with the Jubilee establishment,” the MP added.
