Garissa MP Aden Duale has said that Deputy President William Ruto still stands a better chance to ascend to power.
According to Duale, Kenyans should learn that loyalty pays and sons of the poor can also rise to the presidency.
The lawmaker was speaking during an interview with a local daily.
“Through Ruto, Kenya can learn two lessons, that a son of a common man can rise to any heights and also that politics of loyalty pays. He has and will remain loyal to President Kenyatta until he clears his final term.” Duale said.
His remarks were backed by Cherangany MP Joshua Kuttuny who said that Ruto is a commoner and his presidency is not a far-fetched dream as a section of opposition and Jubilee leaders have been claiming.
“Ruto is a commoner of humble beginnings. We hope that this message will resonate well with the majority in our hustler nation. He personifies an ordinary Kenyan man. His triumph will represent that of other wananchi,” Kuttuny says.
It is the same message Ruto could lock horns with Former Vice President Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, Baringo Senator Gideon Moi, and Machakos Governor Mutua Alfred.
