Deputy President William Ruto has said the choice Kenyans have to make on August 8 will be between the development achievements of Jubilee and the empty rhetoric of the opposition.
He said the contest is between the Jubilee Administration’s action plan to create prosperity and the opposition’s propaganda.
The DP was speaking at Kapkatet on Saturday during a Jubilee rally.
“Our aim as Jubilee is to transform the lives of Kenyans through initiation of projects that have direct impact on their lives. But if you ask our opponents the plans they have, they will only tell you they want to remove Jubilee from power,” said Ruto.
The Deputy President told security agencies to continue securing the country because it is their constitutional responsibility and they should not be distracted by opposition propaganda.
“We are telling our security officers to continue securing our country. That is your duty and responsibility as stated in the Constitution,” said the DP.
The DP said the opposition should present ideas that can convince Kenyans instead of engaging in constant propaganda.
He said the opposition knows it cannot win the election and that is why they come up with a new thing to blame every day.
“First it was the IEBC commissioners, then it was the BVR, then it was the presidential vote tallying. Now they are blaming the security forces,” said the DP.
He said the opposition was not a viable alternative because they are owned by corruption cartels that are even credited for authoring the manifesto that the opposition’s presidential candidate presented to Kenyans.
