ODM fires back at DP Ruto

ODM has accused Deputy President William Ruto of attacking its party leader Raila Odinga during the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday.

 ODM secretary general Edwin Sifuna faulted Ruto for “sustaining a petty, juvenile and ill-informed political onslaught on Raila.”

“Even the solemn occasion of prayer for the nation's many problems for him was but another platform to take another swipe at Odinga,” he said during a press conference at Orange House.

They were responding to Ruto's joke at the prayer breakfast at Safari Park where he said Kenya could donate its former prime minister to the UK which is undergoing turbulence.

“We have a retired one in Kenya and since the Constitution has abolished that position in Kenya, and he may not have it anytime soon, we will send you his CV, maybe you can consider,” he said.

This was in response to UK-based preacher Lord Michael Hastings who had earlier during his sermon wondered in jest whether Kenya could spare one of its leaders to take up the British PM job.
