Deputy President William Ruto has told opposition leaders that they are free to hold their rallies in Jubilee strongholds, without any fear of intimidation or harassment.
The Jubilee Party leader said residents in areas perceived to be Jubilee strongholds are peace-loving Kenyans who have nothing to do with politics of intimidation and harassment.
Ruto was addressing Likuyani residents of Kakamega County on Saturday.
“We are assuring Opposition (NASA) leaders that they are free to hold their peaceful rallies in our (Jubilee) strongholds and that’s why they are in Eldoret today,” he said.
“Unlike the way they (Opposition) treat other people in their strongholds, I want to assure them that we are we are peaceful,” he added.
Ruto said there was no need for Kenyans to continue supporting leaders whose performance on matters of development was questionable.
“Some of our competitors have served in previous governments for a long time and in senior positions like Prime Minister, Vice President, deputy Prime Minister and ministers but have nothing to show in terms of development,” he said.
Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa, who accompanied the DP, said NASA leaders were only interested in power of politics, unlike Jubilee.
“Leadership is about service delivery and not about creating titles which cannot help improve lives of Kenyans,” the CS said.
