It is him (Ruto) who holds top position in government and he cannot escape blame over the mess in there and leave the president to carry all the blame,\u201d argued Raila.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0Raila, Ruto was in the forefront of promising laptops for school-going children, creation of at least one million jobs every year, and construction of ultra-modern stadia \u201cand now he has shifted the narrative to mama mboga, wheelbarrow, and boda boda\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Uhuru has tried to deal with corruption especially in the past one year yet some people with ill motives are now using it to buy political favours. They ask churches to allow them to visit and donate cash. I tell you to take the money but don\u2019t thank them for it because it is stolen public funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cODM does not have a single Cabinet secretary slot or a top position in the Jubilee government where policies are formulated, but it is the DP who is expected to advise the Head of State. What kind of an adviser is he,\u201d posed\u00a0Odinga.<\/p>\n<p>According to the former prime minister, opponents of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) and handshake were the architects of the infamous Youth For Kanu 92 who have accumulated ill-gotten wealth and fear proposed law reforms could expose them.<\/p>\n<p>Raila\u2019s visit of Western came barely a day after Ruto criss-crossed the region on Saturday on a mission to campaign against\u00a0BBI.<\/p>\n<p>While in Busia and Matungu sub-counties in Kakamega, Ruto chided the BBI proponents, saying they were to blame for stalled development projects and plans to revive the collapsed sugar sector.<\/p>\n<p>Raila dismissed Ruto\u2019s remarks, arguing that BBI had recommendations that will put the country on the right recovery track, both political and economically.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently, we have barely 70,000 jobs being created in the public sector against one million new graduates joining the labour market every year. We must start thinking outside the box by turning to the private sector and attract both foreign and local investors in a bid to create jobs and other opportunities that will empower the youth, who are over 75 per cent of Kenya\u2019s population.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Borrow a leaf<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Raila, a country like China with a population of more than 1.6 billion people has been able to get at least 300,000 million people into the middle-class through an improved economy.<\/p>\n<p>He observed that through BBI, Kenya can easily borrow a leaf from China and have more than 15 million people join the middle class and added, \u201cbut for us to realise this, we must have sound economic strategies in place. That is what BBI is seeking to address\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to arguments by Ruto that BBI could be costly to the people, Raila said the document proposes the release of capital to the youth for 11 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a revolution meant to transform our youth,\u201d said Raila.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Kenya: ODM leader Raila Odinga has told off Deputy President William Ruto for associating him with the failures of the Jubilee administration.
