Responding to the same, the country’s First in Command has asked the duo to keep his name out of their mouths and focus on their campaigns.

The President further reiterated that the Ruto-led UDA party has been abusing him for the past three years and he has never responded nor paid attention. Thus, he terms the claims that he plans to assassinate them as lies and propaganda.
