Monday January 7, 2019 - Leader of Majority in Parliament, Aden Duale, has rubbished claims by former Jubilee Party Vice chairman, David Murathe, that Deputy President William Ruto should retire with President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022.
Murathe, who resigned on Sunday as the Jubilee Party Vice Chair, has been throwing punches at the DP saying he should retire with Uhuru in 2022 because he has also served two terms as Deputy President.
But in a fierce and unapologetic rejoinder, Duale termed Murathe’s remarks as irrelevant and said they will not stop DP Ruto from seeking to succeed Uhuru Kenyatta.
The Garissa Township MP said the 2022 deal between President Kenyatta and DP Ruto is solid and unstoppable.
“People should ignore Murathe’s remarks because it means nothing and Kenyans are the people who will decide when the time comes,” Duale told journalists on Sunday.
Duale concluded by saying that the DP and President Kenyatta are focused on serving Kenyans and will not be dragged into petty and meaningless issues.
