Ruto ally Kimani Ichung’wah slam Uhuru Kenyatta over his remark on having talks with the government.
National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has hit out at retired President Uhuru Kenyatta after he said he is willing to meet President William Ruto when invited.
Ichung’wah claimed on Monday night that the former Head of State has no valuable counsel to share with President Ruto.
The Ruto ally accused Uhuru Kenyatta of being a master of propagating handshakes.
“You get invited if you have worthy advice to give anyone. Unfortunately, here, my friend William Ruto, the only advice you could ever get is on handshakes to facilitate looting,” stated the Kikuyu MP.
Remarks by Ichung’wah came a few hours after Uhuru expressed that he could not invite Ruto to iron out issues insisting that it should be the other way round.
Uhuru while meeting news editors on Monday stated he used to seek counsel from his predecessors Mwai Kibaki and Arap Moi.
“I can’t invite myself to talk with him but if he reaches out to me, he is my President, I will go. I went to Moi and Kibaki regularly to seek advice,” Uhuru remarked.

Uhuru hinted that the meeting would grant him an opportunity to offer advice to President Ruto who is currently facing a backlash from the opposition over the high cost of living and Finance Act 2023.
“It is simple, I am doing Pan-African work, which is my hobby. In law, I should be advising the President, but this depends on whether my advice is solicited. I can’t give if not asked,” he added.
In addition, Uhuru explained that he will not sit around and let other individuals malign his name and harass his family members.
He noted that despite the police allegedly raiding his son Jomo Kenyatta’s home over 28 mysterious guns, he only possessed three, all legally acquired.
