Nairobi — President Uhuru Kenyatta has for the second time openly blasted his deputy William Ruto, equating his ambition to succeed him as “an uncontrolled missile that can land and cause destruction”.

While acknowledging that having an ambition is not bad for anyone, the Head of State said that his deputy’s ambition was unbridled and uncontrolled that Kenya cannot risk having at the moment.

“There is nothing wrong with ambition, a man or a nation that does not have an ambition will not go anywhere but ambition must be controlled,” he told Jubilee Party delegates and leaders of various political parties who gathered at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre for their National Delegates Convention (NDC) Saturday.

It was during the convention that President Kenyatta who is also the head of the Jubilee Party rallied delegates to endorse former Prime Minister Raila Odinga as the Azimio La Umoja Coalition Party presidential flag bearer.

The delegates in turn through a vote of acclamation endorsed Odinga who was in attendance for the meeting that was also grazed by top party leaders allied to the coalition.

Kenyatta and Odinga have announced plans to widen the coalition to accommodate One Kenya alliance and rebrand it to Azimio One Kenya Alliance bringing together Jubilee, ODM, Wiper, KANU among others.

President Kenyatta defended his partnership with Odinga since their handshake in March 9, 2018 noting that it had been instrumental in fostering peace and development in the country.

“The handshake brought peace and ensured that no blood is shed because of elections, that should be clear,” he said.
