Deputy President William Ruto has said the leading figures of the opposition are anti-democracy even though they claim to be democratic.
“You are not democrats of any shed. You have all the signs of dictators,” said the DP on Saturday.
He said the list of institutions and issues the opposition has said it has trouble with is endless starting with commissioners of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), the IEBC secretariat, the contract for printing of ballots, the contract for ICT for the election and even Parliament.
“Now they have said they have a problem even with Legislators who are conducting their Constitutional mandates. Are they democrats of any shade? If you are opposed to everything then you are a dictator,” said the DP while addressing the rally in Meru town.
During the tour of the county, President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy were accompanied by Governor Kiraitu Murungi as well as former governor Peter Munya.
