President Uhuru Kenyatta has responded to Deputy President William Ruto’s shocking assertion that the Head of State was planning to assassinate his opponents ahead of the election on August 9.
On Sunday, July 31, Uhuru said in a speech at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) that he was not interested in carrying out a grudge in his final days as President.
In recent comments made by Ruto and his friends, who claimed that their lives were in danger due to political disagreements, the Head of State perceived malice.
“You have insulted me for close three years, has anyone touched you? I was in office for those three years and did I not have the capability? Now that I want to hand over the government and I have limited powers, do you think I have time to look for you?
“Everyone, including myself, has the right to campaign for whoever they want. There is no reason for insults and If I answer you because you have lied. There is no reason to tell people I want to kill you,” he stated.
