Baringo Senator Gideon Moi and Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ngeno have accused Deputy President William Ruto of undermining other elected leaders from the RIft Valley region.
Speaking on Saturday in Narok South, the lawmakers called on President Uhuru Kenyatta to tame the DP, threatening to withdraw their support for Kenyatta's re-election if their demand is not considered.
“We are telling Uhuru to tame Samoei Ruto, if he doesn’t, we will divert our votes to Nasa,” Ngeno noted.
He further told off Ruto on his 2022 presidential bid, announcing that the Rift Valley region will be backing Senator Moi for the country's top seat.
“We are decided that out choice for presidency in 2022 is Gideon Moi, I want to tell this guy, to stop dreaming of the seat,’' he said.
On his part, the Baringo Senator challenged the DP to accord other elected leaders respect.
