With only 38 days till the elections on August 9th, President Uhuru Kenyatta has once again poked fun at his running mate, William Ruto.
Speaking at a gathering in the KICC on Saturday, the President criticized his deputy for making a number of promises while he had the chance to make one in person.
Uhuru claimed that the DP had an entire 8 years to carry out the majority of the development pledges he is now making, but he was unable to.
“Nasikitika nikiona wengine huko ng’we ng’we ng’we. Mtu amepewa kazi, badala ya kazi ni mdomo, mdomo, mdomo tu. Alafu anaanza kusema tutafanya na tutafanya,” he said.
“Kwa nini haukufanya ukiwa na kazi. Hii maneno ya makelele huko, huko, watu wawache upuzi… Munya hapa amefanya kazi kwa miaka mitatu. Hao walikua miaka nane walifanya nini?”
“Why didn’t you do that when you had the opportunity. People should stop such rubbish… This issue of making too much noise here and there should stop. CS munya here has delivered a lot in the three years he has served. What have those people done for the 8 years?”
Adding:
“Wakiona mtu na shida wanasema watatatua. Kwa nini hamkutatua mkiwa ofisi?”

Prior to the August elections, the President urged Kenyans to exercise good judgment by reminding them that their future was at stake.
Uhuru emphasized that he has not forced anyone to support a specific camp, but that it is the responsibility of Kenyans to assess their leaders before electing them.
“Lakini vile nimesema ni shauri yenu. Sijalazimisha mtu kitu nimesema mfikirie. Think, think, think.”
