President Uhuru Confirms Ruto’s Slap Claims, Explain Why He Wanted To Give Up

President Uhuru Kenyatta has finally responded to his deputy William Ruto’s claims that he wanted to slap him in 2017.
According to leaked audio, Ruto claimed that his boss had given up on participating in another election after nullification.
Speaking with a section of religious leaders at State House on Friday, July 8, Uhuru confirmed that it is true he wanted to give up and go to Ichaweri after the Supreme Court annulled his victory.
 
“If they had slapped me over power, I would have given them the other cheek to slap. Yes I wanted to go to Ichaweri because I couldn’t compare power with bloodshed,” Uhuru stated. 

Uhuru noted that he was looking forward to his retirement, blasting his deputy for claiming that he was using the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) to extend his term in office.

“Those who wanted to slap me because I was about to give up the seat were the same ones who accused me of trying to use BBI to extend my term. How was I extending power which I had given up on?” wondered Uhuru.

Uhuru noted that State House is not a place of fun and merrymaking and that he was looking forward to ending his term and heading home like his predecessor, the late Mwai Kibaki.

With one month to the August General Election, Uhuru hosted the men of the cloth from his political backyard for a non-denominational worship and prayer service.

“His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta is today at State House, Nairobi hosting hundreds of religious leaders from Central Kenya for a non-denominational worship and prayer service,” tweeted State House.

The meeting comes months after the Jubilee Party leader met over 3,000 elders from Central Kenya in the quest to scuttle the influence of Deputy President William Ruto in the region.
