Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya has called on Deputy President William Ruto to respect NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
Speaking in Lugari constituency earlier in the week, the ODM Deputy Party leader noted that the former premier has done so much for the country, and therefore should be accorded respect.
He further told off Ruto that Mr Odinga is not his equal, noting that the Opposition chief is eyeing the presidency and not the Deputy presidency post.
“Raila has dedicated his political lifetime fighting for democracy in Kenya, and yet Ruto who has done nothing for Kenyans keeps hurling insults at him as though he is his equal,” he stated.
“Let him [Ruto] tell Kenyans what he has done for them for the period he has been in politics other than grabbing people’s land,” he added.
Ruto is also Jubilee Party's deputy presidential candidate.
