DAILY POST: RUTO makes a U-turn and contradicts UHURU as their relationship grows sour courtesy of RAILA - This will make the President very angry News 06:13
Wednesday December 19, 2018 - Deputy President William Ruto has differed sharply with President Uhuru Kenyatta over the looming referendum that is being spearheaded by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Speaking in Lamu yesterday, Ruto trashed the idea of changing the Constitution to suit some political rejects led by Raila. In a veiled attack at the President, the DP said that he will not allow any form of constitutional amendment to do with political matters saying that the election chapter is closed until 2022. “We have agreed to unite us leaders from the Government and Opposition to push the development agenda forward by improving roads infrastructure and ensuring more homes are connected to electricity.” "The issue of who won the election in 2017 is a closed chapter,” Ruto was quoted as saying. The DP further told politicians getting into political contests to know that they stand to either win or lose and be prepared to accept the result either way. “Kenya is a democracy and those who lose in elections should not fan ethnic animosity by failing to concede defeat,” he said. During his Kisumu tour last week, Uhuru promised that his leadership will look into the current Constitution to ensure that election losers feel included.
