Monday, February 21, 2022 – Deputy President William Ruto has opened up on allegations that he tried to assassinate President Uhuru Kenyatta twice by sabotaging his plane.
Speaking at St John Catholic Church in Igembe South, Meru County yesterday, Ruto denied ever sabotaging or planning to sabotage Uhuru’s plane to assassinate him, terming the statement by political activist Stanley Livondo as dangerous.
“I am calling on leaders and politicians to be careful about what comes out of their mouths because careless and reckless utterances may cost the country a lot by bringing hatred and divisions ahead of the General Election,” William Ruto said.
The DP, who was accompanied by Kenya Kwanza Principals Musalia Mudavadi (ANC) and Ford Kenya’s Moses Wetang’ula, further urged his competitors in the 2022 elections to focus on selling their manifesto instead of fueling hatred.
“No need for mud-slinging each other by telling lies. Let us all meet in the field and embrace peaceful campaigns and allow Kenyans to choose their leaders because the unity of the nation is bigger than any person,” he said.
Livondo, who unsuccessfully contested for the Lang’ata parliamentary seat, alleged that Ruto attempted to end Uhuru’s life twice, that’s why the president broke ranks with him.
“If your friend who is so close to you like a brother attempts to crash a plane that you are on board more than twice, will you forgive him?
“In the first instance, Uhuru was flying from Kisumu to Nairobi while on the second attempt he was headed to the United States through Dubai. The plane was forced to divert to Kenya because of the botched attempt to crash his plane,” Livondo said.
