Deputy President William Ruto is the main threat to the Opposition.
He is the future of the Jubilee Party, hence the sharp criticism by the National Super Alliance leaders, Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has said.
Murkomen says Opposition leaders are trying to taint the image of his ally because he is a stumbling block to their ambitions.
"They know he is the future of Jubilee, he has risen politically more than them and appeals to the entire nation as an able leader besides his commitment to ensure a united Jubilee leadership. That is why they always dig on him in a bid to destabilize his grip. That is their only tactic to bring down the current government ahead of elections," said Murkomen.
The Senate deputy majority leader said NASA leaders are after creating the impression that Ruto is the problem within Jubilee.
“The intention is to portray the DP as not to have a huge support and that the National Super Alliance (NASA) has penetrated his region but it is all not working for them," he said as quoted by the Standard.
