Deputy President William Ruto has accused the opposition for planning the exit of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Commissioners from office.
Speaking while presiding over the closure of Pentecostal Assemblies of God (P.A.G) church conference at Nyang’ori in Vihiga County, Ruto took a swipe at the opposition for being behind of the exit of the Isaac Hassan lead team.
The Deputy President accused the opposition for not putting their house in order in regard to good preparation in the last polls when they lost the election and instead blaming the electoral body over rigging allegation.
“The Government had to accept the decision that was made to send home the IEBC Commissioners, but we know that they have been used as sacrificial lambs,” Said Ruto.
Ruto stated that the Jubilee Government is determined to unite Kenyans, saying tribalism has taken root in the Country.
He defended the move to form Jubilee party adding that more parties are willing to join the movement to form the next Government.
“This party has not been formed for the purpose of winning next elections we worn the last one. This party was formed to unite Kenyan’s,” He said.
The Deputy President advised the opposition to dissolve various Parties that are in (CORD) and form one major party to compete with Jubilee in the next general election.
“The opposition has no chance of winning the coming elections, in the last general elections we worn by 50+1 but in the coming polls we are going to win by 70+,” Said Ruto.
He added that the Government through the Ministry of Education has put in place stun measures to curb exam leakage.
He advised students to be responsible and desist from burning schools in the Country.
“Students must be responsible and express their concerns to both teachers and parents to get help and solutions to problems instead of resorting to burning of schools,” The Deputy President said.
Water and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary Eugine Wamalwa has asked the Government to give the IEBC Commissioners a dignified send off.
He said that the commissioners served well and that they must be respected despite the rigging allegations leveled against them.
Vihiga Governor Moses Akaranga said he is ready to work with the Jubilee Government for the benefit of the people of Vihiga.
Akaranga supported Eugene Wamalwa’s candidacy for Nairobi Gubernatorial seat urging him to step out and fight for it.
“Don’t think you will be endorsed, Kidero is the incumbent Governor and there are also other strong candidates coming in, you need to put in a fight,” Said Akaranga.
Nairobi Women Representative Rachael Shebesh endorsed Wamalwa’s candidacy saying they are going to support him for his quest to be the Governor of Nairobi.
Among those who accompanied the Deputy President were; Benjamin Charles Gimose Mp Hamisi, Washiali Mp Mumias East, Ayub Savula Mp Lugari, Vihiga Deputy Governor Caleb Amaswache, Johnston Gavuludi the National Police Service Chairman and Beatrice Elachi Nominated Senator.
