RUTTO, KUTTUNY, GIDEON MOI WANT ME JAILED SAYS DP WILLIAM RUTO

Deputy President William Ruto has told off those plotting for his downfall that they will never succeed.
Ruto who is still facing charges with Radio journalist Joshoua arap Sang at the ICC said that Bomet governor Isaac Ruto, former Cherangany MP and political advisor to the President Joshua Kuttuny and son to former President Moi, Gideon Moi are scheming to have him jailed at the international based court.

The sentiments by DP Ruto comes barely a day after some legislators from Nandi County led by Senator Stephen Sang made the revelation to the public in a function.

Speaking in Kabobo Village in UasinGishu County during the burial of Mama Priscilla Jemeli Kositany, the mother of Jubilee Alliance Party deputy secretary Mr Caleb Kositany, DP Ruto said that Mr Moi,Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto and Mr Kutuny had formed a clique to frustrate his bid for the presidency. “Those who hoped to use the ICC cases against President Kenyatta and
myself in the last election lost… let these three be warned that they will equally fail,” the DP said.

Moreover, Ruto has warned the three of digging their own political grave, ” “they would end up being buried in the political grave they are digging”. Senator Moi had earlier in the morning flown in to console the bereaved and left shortly before the Deputy President’s arrival. Mr Moi steered clear of politics. Mr Ruto asked the mourners to ignore his opponents and instead support the ruling Jubilee administration. “In 2017, let us support President Kenyatta then come 2022 you all rally
behind me so that we can also lead this country moving forward. He was backed by Moiben MP Sila
Tiren. “I want to tell all those who have been going up and down plotting to divide our people on
political grounds that as leaders from this region, we fully support the President and his Deputy and so they should shape up or shape out,” said Mr Tiren. Mukurweini MP Kabando wa Kabando who also accompanied Mr Ruto said central region backed the deputy president. “I want to assure all our brothers and sisters from the Rift Valley that as leaders from central Kenya, we are in support of the Deputy President. No one is going to tear down the Jubilee coalition,” he said.

President Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto are scheduled to open a three-day investors’ conference and exhibition in Kapsabet.

Local leaders want President Kenyatta to address falling maize prices, displacement of families and unemployment when he visits the county Friday.
Mr Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto are scheduled to open a three-day investors’ conference and exhibition in Kapsabet.
They will also issue over 20,000 title deeds to residents who have never owned the documents since independence.
County leaders want President Kenyatta to order for the issuance of title deeds to farmers in six sub-counties and to compensate victims of the 2008 post-election violence from the region.
Tinderet MP Julius Melly Thursday said he expects the President to help more than 50,000 people get title deeds.
Land officials have been in Tinderet for the past few weeks demarcating plots ahead of the President’s issuance of titles.
Mr Melly said the families spirited out of government-owned forests in 2006 remain unsettled and most were squatters on road reserves while their children had dropped out of school.
UNABLE TO GET LOANS
Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter said poverty remained high in the county because farmers were unable to get loans from banks because they lacked title deeds to use as security.
Pastor Daniel Maina, the co-ordinator of IDPs in Nandi Central Sub-County yesterday said the people evicted from forests and those displaced by clashes had suffered long enough. He claimed they had not been compensated like their counterparts in other counties.
“Victims of the 2008 violence from Nandi Central, Tinderet and Serengonik want the government to speed up their compensation to ensure their families are fully settled,” the pastor added. Families displaced from forests include members of Ndorobo and Ogiek communities.
“The families were evicted from the Tinderet forest 10 years ago and their children have since dropped out of school because their parents don’t have proper income,” said Mr Joshua Kuto, the chairman of the Ogiek forest evictees organisation.
They asked the government to provide mobile clinics to the affected families to reduce water-borne and communicable diseases.
