Azimio leaders hit out at DP Ruto over leaked slap audio'
A recording attributed to Deputy President William Ruto has
stirred heated debate with Azimio leaders now turning on DP Ruto accusing him
of being responsible for his fallout with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
In the recording played in Ndhiwa during an Azimio rally,
Ruto is heard saying he wished he could slap president Uhuru Kenyatta at one
point for his stance after their 2017 election win was nullified by the Supreme
Court after a petition by then NASA leader Raila Odinga.
Odinga and his team were at the tail end of their Nyanza
campaign tour, when his allies trailed their attacks on DP Ruto over a leaked
recording that has Ruto narrating that how he once wished he could slap President
Uhuru Kenyatta.
“Hayo maneno umesikia hapa deputy president wan chi nzima
akizungumza ni aibu kubwa sana…” Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka said.
In the leaked recording played during an Azimio rally in
Ndhiwa Homa Bay county, Odinga allies said Ruto was responsible for his fallout
with president Uhuru and that he has
been lying all along that the handshake between Odinga and Kenyatta watered
down their political marriage.
“Anataka kupiga rais wa Kenya kofi jameni na akipewa majeshi
na polisi atafanya nini…amekuwa akisema ati handshake ndio iliharibu Jubilee
kumbe yeye ndio aliharibu…” MP Junet Mohamed weighed in.
“Jamani tunakushukuru baba kwa sababu kumbe kama haungekuja
handshake hatujui angefanyia nini rais wetu..”Raila ally Maina Kamanda added.
Odinga who largely spoke in Dholuo also trained his guns on
his August 9 main opponent William Ruto and accused him of overseeing
corruption when he served as agriculture ministers during the grand coalition
government.
“Report ya price water coopers iko na jina ya Ruto ndani inaonyesha
yeye akiwa waziri wa kilimo alitumia marafiki kuuza mahindi badala ya kuuzia kampuni za kusaga unga….”
Raila said.
Odinga accused Ruto of running campaigns of deceit and
running away from the corruption question.
“Yule jamaa wa Tanga Tanga viongozi wakifuatwa na ufisadi
wanaema ati they are targeted that is deceit hawataki swala la ufisadi
liongelewe,”
Raila ally and Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho also vowed to go
after all the land that has been illegally grabbed if he is picked as the next
Land Cabinet Secretary.
“Mimi nimepewa niwe waziri wa mashamba na nikiingia ofisini
hivi..ruto shamba zote zimechukuliwa kinyume na sheria zitarudi kwa wananchi..”
As Odinga concluded his Nyanza tour he called for a six piece
voting, endorsing gladys Wanga as the Azimio candidate for governor to face off
with former Nairobi governor Evans Kidero.
“Homa Bay tutajitokeza 100 percent ili tuwe wa kwanza
kufanya Raila apate kura za kuingia ikulu..” Wanga said.
