Nairobi — Deputy President William Ruto says his opponents cannot be trusted to lead the nation blaming them for wanton theft of public resources in recent months.

Ruto told Kirinyaga residents on Thursday during the Kenya Kwanza Alliance tour of the region that the Raila Odinga led Azimio La Umoja Movement consists of “brokers, cartels, thieves”.

He cited the multi-million Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) scandal whose audit report he claimed will not be fully implemented due to the involvement of Azimio allies enjoying State protection.

“The Azimio people massively looted, they even stole masks but because they are now in government no action will be taken against them. Kenyans should know that Raila and his people are the biggest looters in this country,” he said.

Ruto added that Odinga lacked vision citing his apparent failure at his role at the opposition in oversighting the government.

“These people who were meant to keep the government in check have failed in their role and why should we trust that they can be able to lead this nation yet they have failed?” he posed.

On vote rigging claims, Ruto noted that their Azimio’s alleged plot to rig was a pipe dream which would not succeed.

“They need to stop taking drugs because that will not happen, we have a team of hustlers across the country who will vote for us and so I am telling them that they should stop dreaming,” he said.

Amani National Congress (ANC) Party Leader Musalia Mudavadi urged the residents to vote consciously in the August polls keeping in mind what kind of leaders would better their lives.
