“I have always defended the Jubilee government’s track record because I know that together with the President we owe Kenyans good leadership and development, since we were elected jointly,” said Ruto.
Ruto said he did not ask the President to support him for 10 years, and that he did not want to rise to the country’s leadership on the basis of ethnic mobilisation and tribal arrangements.
The Deputy President said he would want to be judged based on his performance, asking his rivals not to seek the country leadership using shortcuts and treachery but to sell their agenda to Kenyans.
