The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party has dismissed claims that former premier Raila Odinga is trying to dislodge him (Ruto) from Jubilee.
In a statement signe by ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, the party terms Ruto as a pathological liar who survives on sympathy.
“It is easy to ignore and dismiss a pathological liar like William Ruto, but we have seen before that he is not just the greatest liar in our politics, but one so adept at mining sympathy that he will leave audiences marveling at his “triumph” over non existent adversity,” writes Sifuna.
“We know Ruto is not known to build anything from scratch but rides on the sweat of others, and for his ilk, siege mentality works just fine, as seen by his previous use of the Mau and Hague issues for political capital.”
Sifuna has rubbished claims that Ruto was removed from ODM by Raila, saying that he left the party after failing to grasp the seat of Deputy Prime minister during the coalition government.
The statement further states that Ruto’s major problem is character and not anyone in the political arena.
“Ruto’s problem is character. Not Jubilee, not ODM, not Uhuru Kenyatta and certainly not Raila Odinga. The mirror may have more answers for him, but he doesn’t look or sound like one to take advice, even from the humble mirror,” adds Sifuna.
