Nation reported that DP Ruto issued the firm warning during a harambee he presided over at Meru the National Polytechnic on Friday, October 4.
Dp Ruto who was clearly disturbed with the trend went on the rampage, slamming the politician who he accused of working with Odinga to fight against development.
In a thin-veiled attack, DP Ruto trailed his guns on Odinga, making him part of the agenda of his development tour that many have alleged are part of his 2022 campaigns.

"Kenya cannot be run by tales but development. I have come to Meru several times and I will keep coming until I streamline the issues affecting this county.
“As Jubilee leaders, we were elected on the promise of delivering development and all of us must do that. The rest have nothing much to do but to make noise," Ruto said.
