“For the avoidance of doubt the agencies charged with security and ensuring we have a peaceful election must apply the law in a manner that does not create two sets of laws for two sets of groups,” Ruto said at the Bomet Green Stadium.
Ruto went on: “We want every inciter in Kenya, whether they belong to UDA or the other side, we want the law to apply equally so that we can secure our nation.”
Speaking in Bomet on Monday, Ruto fired a warning at his troops in the hustler nation movement telling them to be mindful of their language to avoid making inflammatory statements.
“Going forward, I want to tell members of my team, the hustler nation, that all of us must mind our language, all of must be careful about what they say so that we can unite this country because that is what the hustler nation believes in,” he said.
Senator Linturi had on Saturday during the DPs rally in Eldoret asked the locals to reject people opposed to the DP’s candidature using the emotive ‘madoadoa’ word that was the cord language for the perpetrators of the 2007 post-election violence.
While condemning Linturi for his inappropriate use of language, Ruto also hailed the Meru senator for apologising adding that UDA will be at the forefront in preaching peace.
“Let me say that for those who are talking about Senator Linturi, he made a statement which he regrets; a statement that had inappropriate language, and senator Linturi has apologised, he has withdrawn the statement and he has unconditionally apologised to the people of Kenya,” Ruto said.
