Deputy President William Ruto on Thursday said that his boss had humiliated him.
The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) flagbearer told KTN News that not many people could withstand the treatment he has received from President Uhuru Kenyatta over the years.
According to the DP, neither Martha Karua nor Raila Odinga could have tolerated such treatment.
They would have taken drastic measures, according to Dr. Ruto, as opposed to him, who is patient.
“I have been a very patient person. The kind of humiliation I have been subjected to by my boss, nobody could have taken it. If it was Raila or Martha Karua, they would have done drastic things already,” he said.
Without going into specifics about what caused their feud, Dr. Ruto stated that he has avoided engaging his boss in a verbal brawl.
But, he claimed, the president has pushed him into a corner.
“I have resisted as much as I could to respond to my boss. Many people say I have insulted President Uhuru Kenyatta. In fact, I have asked him directly that there is this story I hear I have insulted you. I asked him, can you produce one clip where I said something about you (Uhuru)? Such a clip is not there because I am a careful person,” he added.
In response to whether he and the outgoing president attempted to reconcile, the DP stated that the latter declined an invitation from Anglican Church of Kenya Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit.
“Bishops talked to me, they talked to the president. When they came back to me I told them I want to have a chat with my boss, but he refused. He flatly refused. He denied the bishop a chance for me to have a talk with him. Ask ACK bishop Ole Sapit,” he continued.
The DP revealed in an audio clip leaked last week that he and Uhuru had a falling out before the 2017 elections.
Actually, the president was supposed to choose a new running mate.
