Ruto urges Orengo to stop being used to oppose Govt programmes

President William Ruto has urged the Siaya County Governor to stop being used by former President Uhuru Kenyatta to oppose government programmes and instead serve the people of Siaya.

The President said the people of Siaya did not elect him as Governor to be former President Kenyatta’s puppet.

He explained that if former President Kenyatta could not defeat him in the 2022 General Election, he cannot defeat him now that he is the sitting President.

He added that former President Kenyatta had lowered his status to that of an opposition leader, who has enlisted leaders to oppose projects that he failed to deliver when he was in power.

“I wonder how a person who has been President of Kenya and retired, instead of being a statesman, goes on to become a rebel leader and opposition leader. This is a shame,” he said.
