Monday October 15,2012 – Ten Members of Parliament allied to Eldoret North William Ruto’s party United Republican Party (URP) have threatened to walk out of the party if he joins Orange Democratic Movement.
Led by Cheranganyi MP Joshua Kuttuny, the MPs dared their party leader to make a slight move, saying their will join Uhuru’s party The National Alliance (TNA) if he forms a pre- election pact with Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
The MPs said Ruto will be a traitor of the Kalenjin community if he returns to the Orange Party.
They said they will make a major announcement soon, if Ruto does not apologise to the community for meeting Raila Odinga secretly without their consent.
Other MPs who expressed disappointment with Ruto’s move are Zachary Cheruiyot (Kuresoi), Moses Lessonet (Eldama Ravine), Charles Keter (Belgut) and Eldoret South lawmaker Peris Simam.
Here’s a clip of the DP making the Mutunga statement.
If there’s anything we learnt from Deputy President William Ruto’s interview with Hussein Mohammed on Tuesday, it’s that he is very good at giving punchlines and sideshows to avoid answering questions directly.
I’m not sure if it comes out naturally or whether he actually rehearses for it.
When asked by Hussein whether he has a problem with IEBC as presently constituted, Ruto dropped a huge punchline, completely unrelated.
“Personally I have a son who is a lawyer. I have a serious issue with my Chief Justice having an earring. But I haven’t organized a demonstration.”
He used similar diversionary tactics when answering questions on Jacob Juma.
