“These people have failed miserably to manage simple duties of the opposition, how will they manage Government that is more demanding?” he asked.
The Deputy President told Kenyans to hold the opposition responsible for rampant corruption in Government.
Dr Ruto said the opposition had made it impossible to contain corruption since they were active participants
He said: “Today KEMSA is stinking because opposition leaders are beneficiaries of the programme’s corrupt dealings, that is why it’s difficult to investigate what happened.”

He was accompanied by Ford Kenya party leader Moses Wetangula, MPs Peris Tobiko (Kajiado East), (Katoo Ole Metito (Kajiado South), Philip Mpaayei (Kajiado), Mary Senator (nominated), Kindiki Kithure (Tharaka Nithi), Rigathi Gachagua (Mathira) and Kimani Ichungwa (Kikuyu).
