AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Deputy President William Ruto’s team has denounced an apology letter\u00a0allegedly penned by the DP to President Uhuru Kenyatta.<\/p>\n

The undated letter circulating on social media purports to be an apology letter from\u00a0DP Ruto confessing to letting the administration down.<\/p>\n

Speaking to media, a representative from the DP’s office dismissed the letter stating that\u00a0it did not originate from his office.<\/p>\n

“The letter is clearly doctored,” the official explained noting that the country ought to focus on more issue-based politics.<\/p>\n

The letter\u00a0alleges that\u00a0the DP will take\u00a0responsibility for not heeding the president’s directive not to engage in politics but to focus on the government’s development agenda, as well as opposing\u00a0the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).<\/p>\n

This comes amid tension between the Uhuru-led faction and the DP’s team which formed the breakaway party United Democratic Alliance (UDA).<\/p>\n

In March 2021,\u00a0Jubilee\u2019s National Management Committee (NMC) resolved to remove\u00a0Deputy President William Ruto\u00a0as the party\u2019s deputy leader.<\/p>\n

President Uhuru Kenyatta\u2019s allies in Jubilee led by party secretary Raphael Tuju accused Ruto of sabotaging Jubilee’s agenda and associating with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, which has fielded candidates against Jubilee’s in some by-elections.<\/p>\n

In a recent development,\u00a0Soy MP and former Jubilee Deputy Secretary-General Caleb Kositany hinted that the Tangatanga regime would seek party elections\u00a0in order to\u00a0seize the Jubilee party\u00a0from President Uhuru Kenyatta’s grip.<\/p>\n

“If they are men enough, let them call party elections today, we will sweep everything from their fold,” he confidently stated.<\/p>\n

In his part, Uhuru had in February 2021 dared his deputy\u00a0and MPs allied to the DP to resign instead of\u00a0criticising the government.<\/p>\n

\n

“We need to either work together or not. If they feel that the government is favourable to them, then they should work with us but if they disassociate\u00a0themselves, then let them resign,” the president stated.<\/p>\n

Responding to the president, Ruto stated\u00a0that he was not in competition with the president adding that he was keen on\u00a0performing the duties of his office\u00a0under the president.<\/p>\n

The DP further stated that he was\u00a0the only leader capable of succeeding the president claiming\u00a0that he understood Jubilee’s manifesto and development agenda better than any of Kenyatta’s allies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
