President William Ruto has taken on former vice president Kalonzo Musyoka for being a naysayer and leading the campaign against his agenda to transform Kenya.

The president has been preaching the gospel of transformation, likening Kenya’s potential to such countries as Singapore.

However, in his commitment and bid to make Kenya a first-world country, the president has been getting opposition from his competition, the opponents talking down the plan, arguing that Ruto has no goodwill nor know-how to propel Kenya to those levels.

Speaking in Kiambu during a church service on Sunday, December 14, the president told off the naysayers, specifically, and indirectly so, going for Kalonzo’s jugular.

According to Ruto, the Wiper leader could be the most inconsequential leader despite holding influential positions in successive governments.

The president suggested that Kalonzo got no moral authority to lecture him on matters of development.

He said Kenyans can’t wait on a leader who did advance transformation in his prime time in government posts.

“There are those saying we can’t achieve all that I have announced. I want to tell them that they are the ones who can’t achieve anything. They have no plan. It would be unreasonable to wait for someone who never developed his rural road. The road leading to his home is dusty and muddy, and he has been in power for decades. If he can’t develop his rural road, where will he get the smartness to plan development for Kenya? That is why they argue it is impossible, because they have never planned anything,” Ruto fired.

This came weeks after the president launched a major road in Kalonzo’s native constituency during his working tour of Ukambani.

The president, while rallying the Ukambani locals behind his administration, observed that the region had been condemned to underdevelopment and being fixated on the opposition politics.

Ruto said his administration would include all the regions in his agenda, Ukambani included, regardless of their political biases.

Kalonzo served as the MP for Mwingi South for 25 years between 1985 and 2013.
