President William Ruto has revealed that he was nicely conscious of the ‘deep state’ in the earlier authorities and that there isn’t any approach he would have misplaced the 2022 presidential election.
Addressing Kiburu residents in Ndia constituency, Kirinyaga County yesterday, Dr Ruto stated he had warned the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition that he was conscious of what was taking place in the Jubilee authorities.
Dr Ruto stated there have been orchestrated plans to govern the end result of the election in favour of his most important political rival, Mr Raila Odinga, however he quashed them because of his huge information of the ‘deep state’.
“I told them there is no deep state that I do not understand. There is no system that I personally don’t understand. I even knew that they were planning to steal our votes and I told them that their mission was impossible. They tried and failed miserably. Now they think they can push us until they have a share in the government. Whose government do they want to join?” Dr Ruto stated.
“We have removed the taxes imposed on the tea and coffee sector in the Finance Bill 2023. I have told them (the opposition) that they cannot confuse us. If you judge me very well, do I look like a person who can be distracted? If they could not defeat us when they were a duo (Raila and Uhuru), do they think this man (Raila) can defeat me now? Let them know that they will not get a coalition government. We are very focused on serving Kenyans and that is all,” he added.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua alleged that the former regime used Sagana State Lodge as a venue to strategise on terrorise Dr Ruto, who was then Deputy President, and plan to cease him from ascending to the presidency.
“It is at Sagana State Lodge that the former regime planned to stop Ruto from becoming president and tarnish his name. Today, he is the man who will spend a night at the same Sagana State Lodge. Now the State Lodge will be used as a base for planning the economic development of our nation,” stated Mr Gachagua.
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi stated the opposition was disorganised and making an attempt to sneak into authorities.
“In President Ruto’s plan that he shared with us, it does not say anywhere that we should help some people to form the opposition. It is not the responsibility of the Kenya Kwanza government to organise the opposition. If they are disorganised, it is not the problem of the Kenya Kwanza government,” Mudavadi stated.
“They say they want inclusivity. When they selected their representatives for this committee, why did they exclude the leadership of Azimio from Mt Kenya? They are just crooks and self-centred,” he added.
On Sunday, August 6, Dr Ruto will host an interdenominational prayer service at Sagana State Lodge and later chair a gathering with all leaders from the Mt Kenya area.
This is the identical venue the place the Head of State will chair a Cabinet assembly on Tuesday.
On Monday, the President will fee the Ichamara-Kariti street improve at Mukurwe-ini and the Kaigonji and Othaya water initiatives in Tetu. Later in the day, he’ll open a bus park terminus in Nyeri city to ease visitors congestion.
On Tuesday, he’ll open the new Kenya Cooperative Creameries (KCC) plant in Kiganjo and later maintain a particular convention with regional leaders at Sagana State Lodge.
On Wednesday, he’ll open a 175-bed degree 4 hospital in Naromoru and officiate at the groundbreaking of the Gichugu inexpensive housing challenge in Kirinyaga County.
He will conclude the tour by witnessing the groundbreaking of one other inexpensive housing challenge in Thika, Kiambu County, earlier than returning to State House in Nairobi.
