“The president declared that we should work together with all leaders. Even those we challenged and defeated in 2017. Today we are united in ensuring we do not drag Kenya’s development. Transformation cannot wait for those who are politically quarrelling.
“We must harmonise our politics so that we can create synergy and drive the transformation of Kenyans together as the people of this nation,” Ruto asserted.

The DP made it clear that he is solidly behind President Uhuru Kenyatta with his present focus being development and unity.
“Developments will spearhead the change Kenya needs and that depends on leaders uniting with citizens to work together,” Ruto added.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time that the DP is making such declarations.
Only to renege with frequent attacks, most famously labelling Odinga the “King of poverty” and alleging that he is out to destroy Jubilee party.
