Raila, Ruto Face-off in Parliament

Parliament witnessed a bare-knuckle face-off between Prime Minister Raila Odinga, and his one-time close political ally, now turned - bitter rival, Eldoret North MP William Ruto. In the first such direct confrontation since the two acrimoniously fell out, Ruto took on Odinga for his consistent assertions that people who opposed the new constitution during the august 2010 referendum should not be elected into public office during the forthcoming general election. Ruto was the de-facto leader of the red team that opposed the then proposed draft constitution. The duo also treated the August House to a showdown over the ICC issue, after Odinga faulted the ongoing series of prayer rallies organised by Ruto and his co-accused, Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta. Francis Gachuri has more details on the dramatic face-off on the floor of the House.

Ruto is a very brilliant, articulate and charismatic person.
Long live William Samoei Ruto.

This is a personal matter and not that of parliament. Marende acted in a civil way. Kudos!

When Ruto speaks you feel passionate hatred, when Raila speaks you feel humility.

Kumbe Raila hii mambo ya maombi hakuwa anapenda kutoka kitambo 🤣🤣🤣

[Jasubakende]

And nothing of importance to Wanjiku was discussed. Just the usual meaningless theatrics with the usual cheer boys and girls both in Parliament and right here on the web. Keep up the good work folks!

[Lifeupdates]

The Ruto is a now your president mr Raila

[alicemwangi]

Raila is never passionate of anyone except of himself. A very selfish person who cannot help anyone except himself and his family.

Wah... kumbe Raila alianza kupinga prayers kuanzia kitambo

[puritykimondo]

Rao Always fighting prayers, ? What is His stand on God?

[chengosaro]

CHASING RUTO From ODM was the most foolish and political naivety on the part of Raila Raila Odinga is a poor strategist who always betrays honest friend who have good will on him

[sadalaish]

Come on Citizen, Why produce the said ODM letter and not the Clips when Rutoh opposed the local tribunal as Raila supported its establishment. You are a media house, or so I thought, not a biased Political tool as it hereby seems. I looked at KTN's and NTV's versions and I must say "it is a Shame Citizen cant speak for truth". We are watching keenly, especially on national issues like such that can make or break our nation.
