Deputy President William Ruto has dismissed the opposition over their claims that the Jubilee administration has only prospered in corruption.
The DP, who was speaking in West Pokot County on Monday, said that their development record could not be marched with those in the opposition during their time in power.
“Opposition claims that this government has looted funds. If it’s true, could we be able to implement some of these mega projects that we have funded?” He was quoted by Nation.
“What did the two prime ministers and vice-president do for Kenyans? We shall focus our energies on realising our development agenda,” he said.
Ruto asked the residents to reject the opposition in the forthcoming August polls, saying they have nothing new to offer to Kenyans adding that they are only good at organizing street demos.
"There is no mega project that they implemented. Our development record will vote them out,” he said, adding: We have constructed the standard gauge railway, which those accusing us failed to do in 30 years.
"They are good at participating in demonstrations and we have given them a nod. They only know how to throw stones, whistling while lying on the road and how to escape tear gas,” he added.
Ruto, who was accompanied by West Pokot Governor Simon Kachapin, Labour Principal Secretary Hadijjah Kassachon and a number of MPs, urged the people to register in numbers as voters to help them retain power.
