“In Musalia Mudavadi you have a solid leader,” Ruto said.
Ruto said that most people have been looking down on Mudavadi for years over his political stand but will know that he is s a force to reckon with during the August 9 polls.
“My friend Musalia Mudavadi has demonstrated that he has the capacity to make sacrifices when sacrifices are needed of him and he continuously looks at the bigger picture,” Ruto stated.
The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party leader pointed out that Mudavadi’s sacrifice will pay off in the end.
He added that his unity with Mudavadi and Wetangula is informed by their commitment to making the country a better place for Kenyans.

On Wednesday, the Head of State said, Kenya needs leaders who are able to identify problems and offer solutions, not mere critics who have nothing to offer in an apparent to Ruto.
“The problem with this Kenya is that the so-called leaders are quick to pinpoint a problem but have no solution to those problems. So, when they read on the newspapers about fuel, maize, etc. they are the first ones to call press conferences to complain about the prices,” Kenyatta said.
“You are already in leadership and you are seeking a more powerful position then you should be in the frontline to solve current problems not complain and criticize all the time,” he said.
