Deputy President William Ruto has said Kenyans are ready for the October 26 fresh election and nobody will stop it from happening.
The DP said Raila Odinga’s call for demonstrations is a sign of impunity and dictatorship which is unacceptable to Kenyans and will not be tolerated.
“We have a date with destiny on October 26. It cannot be that one person is allowed to always take the country in circles. Instead of preparing for the fresh presidential election you (Mr Odinga) are organising for violence against officials of IEBC and you want to tell us you are a democrat?” the Deputy President posed.
“It cannot be that a person goes to court to push for fresh election and then instead of preparing to participate he goes ahead to call for demonstrations and instigates violence,” the Deputy President said.
He urged Kenyans to turn out in large numbers on October 26 to vote out the impunity and dictatorship that the opposition want to ride on.
“We should come out on October 26 to vote and tell the opposition that it is the people of this country that will decide who will be president. It is not their violence, it is not their conditions,” the Deputy President said, adding that Mr Odinga cannot decide for 45 million Kenyans.
The DP was speaking in Sirisia, Bungoma County.
