Wandayi says President Ruto is dependable, trustworthy

Political allies of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga have said that the recent elections for the African Union Commission have revealed the true character of President William Ruto.

Despite Odinga’s unsuccessful bid, Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi asserts that the head of state deserves commendation for the way he led Odinga’s campaign and supported him until the very end.

“We must thank most profusely President William Ruto for by taking time and dedicating resources, all the possible resources at his disposal, towards ensuring Raila Odinga clinched the AUC Chairperson seat,” he stated.

Speaking at Siburi Secondary School in Homa Bay County during the handover of a newly constructed girls’ dormitory funded by Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) at a cost of KSh 5 million, Wandayi expressed confidence in Ruto, stating that Raila’s supporters will always be grateful for his support.

“President Ruto did whatever he could. He went out of his way and worked tirelessly for Baba, Raila Odinga to win. Even though the results came out the way they did, we cannot forget the work that was put in by President William Ruto,” he said.

“If there is anything that we have come out with from this exercise is that President William Ruto is a truly dependable ally and is someone that you can take his word. We remain grateful to him from standing firmly with baba,” added the Cabinet Secretary.

Wandayi further noted that the election provided valuable lessons, stating: “We have emerged from this experience wiser. We now know who our true friends are.”
