Ruto Will Not Respect the Rule of Law If Elected – Junet Mohamed Says

Suna East MP Junet Mohamed on Wednesday claimed that Deputy President William Ruto will not respect the rule of law if he is elected the president on August polls.

The vocal MP was reacting to claims that the second in command wanted to slap the president in 2017.

“William Ruto wanted to SLAP President Uhuru because the President did not want to hang on to an election that the Supreme Court had just NULLIFIED. And we still have some Kenyans thinking William Ruto will respect the RULE OF LAW. No, he will not,” Junet said in a tweet.

No, he will not. #AzimioInKiambu

On Sunday, Junet played an audio clip alleged to be of Deputy President William Ruto saying he almost slapped President Uhuru Kenyatta.

While at a rally in Ndhiwa, Homa Bay County during the Azimio campaigns, Junet appeared to confirm a media report that the DP indeed said he almost slapped Uhuru.

To support the media report, Junet played the alleged audio to Azimio supporters. In the clip, Ruto is talking about intrigues that surrounded the annulment of the 2017 presidential election.

“Tulienda kufanya uchaguzi tukashinda. Huyu mtu akaenda pale akakoroga koroga hiyo uchaguzi. Watu wengi walikua wanadhani wakisema turudie uchanguzi tutawachana na Uhuru. Sijui kwanini walikua wanafikiria hivyo? Lakini mimi nilitoka hapa kwa ofisi. Nilikua nimeambia Uhuru chunga sana hapa kuna kingereza mingi akaniambia amechunga kabisaa.

Loosely translates to: “We did an election and we won. There was an appeal filed at Supreme Court and it was ruled that we repeat polls. So many people thought that if repeat polls I will not support Uhuru. I don’t know why? I left this office and I had told Uhuru to watch out on the Supreme court because I had sensed danger. He assured me all was well”.
