Deputy President William Ruto has reiterated that he does not fear proponents of the referendum push to expand the Executive through the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
In his Nyamira tour, the Deputy President was firm on his campaign to put the interests of ordinary citizens forward, trashing the rush to have a referrendum.
“They are pushing for a referrendum so that they can have a post for a prime Minister. We want to change the narrative and start talking about ordinary citizens. If they tell us they want leadership, we will tell them we want to address the citizens first” Ruto claimed.
He was speaking at a fundraiser for boda boda operators organized on Sironga Grounds in West Mugirango Constituency, Nyamira County.
The meeting that was scheduled to take place last week, was interefered with by heavily armed police officers.
However, the Deputy president did not blame the youth for the spikes of violence in Muranga and Kisii counties, he urged them to steer clear from divisive politics
“Tell those who want to misuse you to engage in violence to allow their children and wives to take the lead on such matters but not you,” Dr Ruto concluded.
