Deputy President William Ruto has censured the opposition for allegedly dividing Kenyans on ethnic grounds at the expense of focusing on issues that can unite the country.
“The opposition should focus on issue based politics instead of concentrating on tribal based politics to achieve their selfish agenda,” said Deputy President Ruto on Saturday.
He told members of the Luhya community to reject the opposition and support Jubilee because of its development agenda for the region and the country.
The DP thanked the people of Western Kenya for rallying behind the Jubilee’s call for unity and progress, noting that the region gave the ruling party eight Members of Parliament in the August 8 polls.
“With open arms, we have come here to tell you that we are ready to work with you. The outdated politics of tribalism has no place in the Kenya of today.
The DP said Jubilee is ready for the October 26 fresh presidential polls in line with the Constitution and the Supreme Court ruling that annulled the August 8 election, saying the opposition should stop interfering with the process.
