“Mwambie huyo Ruto unampangia ni yule mliombewa na yeye hapa Gatundu, na ata hiyo maombi, Mama Ngina alituombea…mmukumbushe ni huyo Ruto, na tafadhali usimuumize” Ruto lamented to the area Residents.

“Mkumbushe ni yule Ruto ambaye wakati palikuwa hakuna mtu wa kusaidia wewe, ni huyo alisimama na yeye.” Ruto further stated.

“Ata kama hataki kunisaidia, aniwachie huyo mzee ya kitendawili, mimi niko tayari kupambana na yeye. Yeye asimame kando, mimi huyu kitendawili nitammalizia.” Ruto said.
