Deputy President William Ruto has echoed his boss, President Uhuru Kenyatta's earlier remarks that the Jubilee fraternity will revisit the recent ruling by the Supreme Court nullifying President Kenyatta's win in the August polls.
Speaking in an exclusive interview on KBC TV Sunday, Ruto, however, maintained that the revisit will not be aimed at victimizing anyone or revenging for allegedly being denied their victory but will be driven by the desire to prove to the nation and the court the Kenyatta indeed won.
''We will indeed revisit this issue in due time.We will demand a recount of the votes to prove that we actually defeated our closest rival by over a million votes,'' said Ruto.
He also defended Jubilee over allegations of continued interference with the operations of the court, an independent arm of the government.
''We are not against the Supreme Court.Unlike our competitors who even threatened the court telling it to redeem itself, we sat and watched and we have since accepted the verdict.However, we cannot just sit silently while the court oppresses us because we have a right to express our feelings towards the ruling,'' he said.
