Uhuru has betrayed DP Ruto – MP reveals

Kuresoi South Member of Parliament (MP) Zakayo Cheruiyot has now alleged that President Uhuru Kenyatta has shortchanged deputy President William Ruto’s 2022 presidential ambition.

Speaking on Monday, Cheruiyot claimed that Kenyatta betrayed his deputy the minute he signed an agreement with Baringo Senator Gideon Moi in Ruto’s absence.

The legislator, who ditched Jubilee for Chama Cha Mashinani (CCM), said that the Head of State had another presidential candidate for 2022.

"We have been questioning how and why URP was dissolved. We thought they didn't want other parties but we saw Uhuru engaging some.

"When we realised things were changing, we formed our own party called Chama Cha Mashinani," Cheruiyot stated.

The MP has now joined hands with Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto who recently joined NASA and has been leading an onslaught against Jubilee in Rift Vallley.

The Bomet Governor has been campaigning for Raila Odinga on grounds that Ruto is fond of abusing Rift Valley leaders and imposing leaders on them.

Meanhwile, the DP has been fighting the Baringo Senator to control the Rift Valley bloc ahead of the August Election with the latter eyeing the presidency in 2022.
