Thursday September 12, 2019 - Deputy President
William Ruto has responded to Kirinyaga Governor, Anne Waiguru, who said no
Kikuyu or Kalenjin should be elected to the Presidency in 2022.
Speaking during her 2nd State of the County address
on Wednesday, Waiguru said that the two communities have produced occupants of State
House since independence, noting that Kenyans won't accept the same trend to
continue after the 2022 polls.
“Let’s be honest, Kenya has many communities and one or two
cannot continue dominating the leadership of this country," Waiguru stated
But in a fast rejoinder, Ruto said that Kenyans supported
President Uhuru Kenyatta to succeed retired President Mwai Kibaki not because
he was a Kikuyu but for his track record.
“We supported and voted for Uhuru to succeed Kibaki not
b'cos of ethnicity but COMPETENCE.”
“He is NOT leader of any ethnic community but that of JUBILEE,
the largest political party with Mcas, MPs and Gov's in 41 of 47 counties and
President of Kenya.”
“Muwache kasumba ya ukabila pls (sic)," Ruto said on
Thursday.
Waiguru is among “politicians from Central Kenya” who
support NASA leader, Raila Odinga’s presidential bid in 2022.
