DP William Ruto says he tried to extend an olive branch to his boss but blatantly shot it down even with the intervention of religious leaders.
“Bishops talk to me. They talk to the President too. When they came to me, I told them I want to have a chat with my boss. He flatly refused,” Ruto said.
He admitted that the bad blood between them was getting out of control accusing Uhuru of humiliating him.
The DP explained that he had endured a lot of humiliation, adding that if it were ODM leader Raila Odinga or Narc Kenya’s Martha Karua, they would have taken drastic measures.
“It is really unfortunate, and I regret the rivalry has gone this way. I have been a very patient person, the kind of humiliation I have been subjected to by my boss, nobody could have taken it. If it was Raila Odinga or Martha Karua, they could have done dreadful things already,” Ruto said.
