Deputy President William Ruto has responded to his boss President Uhuru Kenyatta over a comment he made on Wednesday in Nairobi which was construed by a section of the political divide to be demeaning.
Uhuru had said: "Hii Kijana anaitwa Ruto unajua kila weekend anatangatanga kila pahali atakuwa anapitia hizi machoro choro mkiona kuna kitu inaenda kona kona mumwambie."
Ruto, speaking during the burial of National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi's mother on June 2, said the president need to walk around and listen to the problems of the common mwananchi.
"Mr President, it is time for you to tour the country and listen to the people on the ground...but as a result of the directive you gave me the other day that I should implement every weekend as I loiter around in remote areas, upcountry, counties and even backstreets, I will give a summary of findings," Ruto said.
