Deputy President William Ruto has taken a swipe on Opposition alliance NASA leaders, describing them as a group of power-hungry cartels.

Ruto cited NASA's power sharing deal unveiled at Uhuru Park last month, where ODM Party leader Raila Odinga was announced as the outfit's presidential flag bearer.

The former Prime Minister will be deputized by Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka - a replica of the 2013 general elections Cord ticket.

Speaking over the weekend during a political rally in Mandera, Ruto dismissed NASA's Presidential line up, challenging Kenyans to reject them during the forthcoming general elections.

“As leaders we should not be obsessed with the positions we will get but transform the lives of our people. That’s the dream of the Jubilee team,” Ruto said.

“Jubilee believes in politics of empowerment and jobs creation while our colleagues in the Opposition believe in the politics of power sharing, negative ethnicity and propaganda,” he added.
