Former Nairobi Woman Representative Rachel Shebesh now says the National Super Alliance (NASA) has been attacking Deputy President William Ruto because of the key role he plays in the Jubilee Party.
Speaking in Eldoret during a meeting with women from Uasin Gishu, Shebesh said Ruto has been the brain behind Jubilee party's strategies that have always countered the opposition.
"How you ever wondered why the opposition always talks about Ruto and not the President? It's because he is the one who plans everything that the Jubilee party does which has made the NASA guys remain powerless politically," said the vocal former MP, Thursday.
She further pointed out that DP Ruto played a key role in the Jubilee party 2013 Presidential win reiterating that the Mt. Kenya region will fully support him in 2022.
"Uhuru would not be President today without William Ruto. For this reason, we have pledged that in 2022 it will be our turn to make him President," Shebesh noted.
DP Ruto is considered the Kalenjin Kingpin especially after he managed to deliver the community's vote almost to the last man for President Uhuru Kenyatta in August polls despite opposition from several leaders among them the Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto who ended up being floored by Dr. Joyce Laboso in the gubernatorial contest.
