Deputy President Dr William Ruto and his allies have been told to pack up and leave if they are not ready to support President Uhuru Kenyatta on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI)push.
Firing the salvo on Saturday, Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo asked the DP and his allies in government to pack up and leave if they are not ready to support the President on the push.
He said Dr Ruto is contradicting the President, who has openly stated that he is supportive of the BBI.
“There is no turning back on the push for reforms, which we know will be ushered in through the BBI initiative. We will only listen to Raila and Uhuru, nobody else,” Mr Amollo said.
Speaking during the burial of freedom fighter Achieng Oneko’s widow, Loice Anyangi, at Kunya village in Rarieda, Siaya County, Otiende Amollo alongside Siaya Senator James Orengo tasked the DP to declare his stand on BBI.
Orengo told Dr Ruto that it was time he told Kenyans whether or not he supports the BBI that followed a truce between President Kenyatta and Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga, after the prolonged elections season in 2017.
Mr Orengo claimed Dr Ruto is a “fence-sitter” who can’t be trusted with the country’s leadership.
He said it is strange that the DP supports the Constitution yet he opposed its adoption in 2010.
