No one will steal your votes, DP Ruto assures supporters

Deputy President William Ruto denied allegations of vote manipulation, assuring Kenyans that their votes would be protected.
The DP laughed off suggestions that votes would be stolen in favor of their rival ODM leader Raila Odinga during a Kenya Kwanza Alliance event at the Amalemba grounds in Kakamega County on Saturday.
The DP was replying to comments made by Murang’a Woman Representative Sabina Chege, who said during an Azimio la Umoja campaign stop on Thursday that if they can rig the last election, they can rig this one as well.
“I want to advise those in ‘kuzimia’ to quit daydreaming about stealing votes,” the DP remarked. “Let me assure you, you will not steal anyone’s vote.”
“If you look at myself as the hustler and Mudavadi and Wetangula here, do we look like people whose votes can be stolen?
Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi criticized President Uhuru Kenyatta’s move on Friday when he invited over 3000 youth leaders at State House who were chanting anti-DP slogans on Friday, saying such an action degrades the institution.
Mudavadi said it has never occurred that a Head of State anywhere in the world would invite people to the State House to mock their deputies.
“State House is a symbol of unity, what happened there is unacceptable,” said Mudavadi.
On his part Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetangula asked the Head of State to stop using state resources to play politics.
“If you want to play politics it’s your right but you cannot use state resources to play partisan politics,” stated Wetangula.
The Kenya Kwanza team is on Sunday set to continue with their vote-hunting mission in Baringo County, where they are set to hold a mega rally at Kabarnet stadium.
