Amani Coalition Leader Musalia Mudavadi has clarified that he cannot work with Deputy President William Ruto or support him in his 2022 presidential ambitions.
Mudavadi said Ruto’s mischief to “bar” him from getting to State House next year, will not deter his presidential ambitions.
Speaking at Lusengeli Secondary School during the requiem mass for Christine Eboso, Mudavadi said he will not associate with a corrupt government that does not have citizen’s interests at heart.
Ruto had suggested on Friday during a fund raiser at Malinda Secondary School that Mudavadi should support him as he is already “close to State House."
"Ruto's statement is in bad taste, mischievous and condescending. I am serious about running for presidency in 2017 and Ruto knows it. If he is a trustworthy neighbour, let him show his generosity by supporting me first," Mudavadi said.
"My target is to remove you (Ruto) from power. That should be known widely. I want to move forward not backward," he added.
