Deputy President William Ruto has recently sparked massive stir, debates and arguments across all social media platforms after his simple yet powerful message to the ODM party leader Raila Odinga.
Speaking in Kiambaa, Ruto said they had no chance with President Uhuru of being elected in 2013 and were not the people to win an election because they had many problems, many challenges, they came from fighting communities, and they had a large case at the Hague.
Ruto said that all of the donors and sponsors told them that their decisions had consequences.
“We didn’t stand a chance, and we were up against a sitting Prime Minister with half of the government and a running mate who was also the vice president at the time. Only God gave us that opportunity, and I am confident that the hustler nation will win the election next year,” Ruto said.
According to Ruto, this is the time to transform the country by providing jobs and opportunities for our young people. He said that his competitors wanted to change the constitution first, increase the president’s powers, and increase leadership positions.
“I’m telling them that before we change the constitution, we should first change the economy so that unemployed people can find work. Mama mbogas and bodaboda operators are struggling, as are small business owners. First and foremost, I would like to plan a good place for all of these business people to conduct their operations,” Ruto said.
“The second is to have a law that protects their business, and the third is for the government to set aside money so that they can borrow money without being bothered by shylock or going to borrow from fuliza because many have been listed in the to crb,” Ruto said.
Ruto said that the people of Kiambaa turned a new page in Kenyan politics by electing someone who had no money or connections. He said that all Kenyan youth should know that it it possible.
“Kiambaa’s people have begun the hustler nation journey to form a government next year, and they are God’s people. Because of today’s election of Wanjiku in the Kenyan parliament, the number of MPs who have joined the UDA since this Kiambaa MP was elected is 150,” he said
“They have joined UDA, and the people of Kiambaa are the ones who are embarking on this Kenya’s journey. The popular UDA party, which you Kiambaa people founded, wants to form a government that considers citizens at the most basic level, what we call bottom-up governance, next year,” he said.
Ruto said that the UDA party was determined to unite the country. He said that he believed that by working together, Kenyans can overcome all of the nation’s challenges.
“We don’t believe in tribal parties, ethnic mobilization, or corner arrangements. We believe in teamwork, and I am very proud to be a part of and a leader in this hustler movement that spans all Kenyan communities, regions, all religions, and all races,” he said.
“We are one united movement, and our goal is to use our unity to form a political party capable of formulating, arranging, and implementing a proper development model under our bottom-up economic model approach that will change the fortunes of our nation, as well as a movement capable of forming the next government,” he said.
Ruto assured every Kenyan that the UDA movement welcomed everyone and every idea. He said that UDA believes that a good idea must give way to a better idea and that a better idea must give way to the best idea. He said Kenyans will work together to move forward.
Ruto said that many young people graduate from college with certificates, diplomas, and degrees but are unable to find work.He said many had turned to crime, rugs, and depression.
“They must stand up and be counted. You must look for a voter’s card in the same way that you would look for a job. It is impossible for us leaders to be selfish and change the constitution to increase our power and leadership positions while our diploma-holding children struggle with drugs,” he said.
“If there is one critical issue we must address, it is ensuring that our young people find work and are not frustrated after they get their education. This is the time to transform our country by providing jobs and opportunities for our young people. The people we are competing with want to change the constitution first, increase the president’s powers, and increase leadership positions,” he said.
‘Your voter’s card is the only thing standing between you and a job. How will you use your card? Will you choose the hustler nation government, which has planned how our youth jobs will be filled, or will you choose the other political party, which has plans to change the constitution and increase leadership positions?,” he posed.
Ruto said he did not want politics based on hatred, ethnicity, or divisions. He said that he wanted everyone in the hustler nation to band together from all communities to address the challenges of unemployment, small business, and economic issues, and to uplift everyone economically through the bottom-up economic model.
