A section of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM)party MPs have issued a statement claiming that Deputy President William Ruto is against the better interests of the country.
Led by Kwale Woman Representative Zuleikh aHassan, the MPs stated that DP Ruto was a problem to himself and he ought to quit instead of blaming NASA leader Raila Odinga.
They accused the DP of being responsible for a number of ills within government and his Rift Valley region due to what they termed as "hostage tactics".
"What stands between Ruto and the presidency is not His Excellency Raila Odinga. It is hischaracter, his bad record in office and the perceptions about him in the general public. Ruto comes off as an angry, bitter man looking for revenge."
"Ruto has the exclusive distinction of being the only politician who is starting the race forthe presidency of Kenya with hostages," the MP said.
The MPs went on to outline that the alleged hostage tactics had permeated through the national government and the families of his perceived rivals.
"Ruto and the cohort of politicians paid to speak at his rallies are hostage holders."
On Sunday, Ruto insisted that Jubilee party won the polls after Raila stated that he was the winner of the disputed polls.
