Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni has claimed that President William Ruto is determined to wedge hostility between the Kikuyu and the Luo communities.<\/p>\n

Kioni, who spoke during the burial of the Luo Council of elders chairman Willis Otondi, claimed that Kenyans are now looking upon opposition leader Raila Odinga to unite the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to say that William Ruto’s biggest agenda is to ensure that there is a wedge between the Kikuyu and the Luo communities,\u201d Kioni said.<\/p>\n

The Jubilee honcho asked the Luo Community to stand firmly behind Raila because already Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza government is wobbling.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who are in Kenya Kwanza are running away…those who voted for them and those who voted against them are now looking at you Baba (Raila),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kioni also hailed the late Otondi for his efforts to bridge the historical gaps that existed between the Kikuyu and the Luo community.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven when he was sick he travelled far and wide to demystify the gap between the Luo and the Kikuyu community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
