Friday, March 18, 2022 – The Kikuyu council of elders has threatened to curse Deputy President William Ruto over his continued attacks against President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The Deputy President and his brigade have been firing salvos at the Head of State in their political rallies over the recent past.
But speaking on Thursday, the council called on their counterparts in the Rift Valey region to call their son (Ruto) to order, failure to which they will take stern action against him.
Led by Wachira wa Kiago and Ndung’u Gaithuma (Kiama Kiama), the elders said that Ruto is too ambitious in his presidential bid, a move they termed as worrying because it could easily lead to bloodshed during and after the August 9th elections.
“The Kikuyu community resolves that we will not tolerate any acts or utterances that could lead to bloodshed and destruction of life and property. We urge all Kenyans to reject incitement to violence and disorder for political reasons,” the elders said.
While defending President Uhuru Kenyatta’s move to endorse his handshake partner for the Presidency, the elders said the UDA presidential flag bearer should learn patience from the former Prime Minister who has unsuccessfully vied for the presidency four times.
The Kikuyu council of elders chairman, Wachira wa Kiago, warned William Ruto against inciting the residents of Mt Kenya region against their kingpin, President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“The Deputy President has shown his real identity and he should stop inciting the people of Mount Kenya region during his campaign rallies,” Wachira said.
In his recent attacks against his boss, the Deputy President on Thursday, asked Nairobi residents not to fall prey to politics of deceit being propagated by President Uhuru and the opposition leader.
“If they have never slept hungry, how can they plan how you can have access to food and low commodity prices?” Ruto said ostensibly referring to Uhuru and Raila.
