Kikuyu leaders are planning prayers for Uhuru Kenyatta, Francis Muthaura and Hussein Ali whose confirmation hearings start at the Hague on September 21. An SMS invite to the prayers by one Wachira Kiago reads; “The Kikuyu Council of Elders will be holding national prayers for our sons Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, head of Civil Service ambassador Francis Muthaura and Postmaster General Hussein Ali on the 17 September at Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga, Muranga from 10am. Please you are invited and also to make this day a success we have a budget and we are appealing to well wishers to assist.” It includes the M-Pesa number to which wellwishers can send their donations!
There is no amount of Prayers that can Save mass-murderers who has committed mass-murders against the Kenyan people no wonder what their god/goddese they worship!
The People of Kenya deserves leaders of accountability ,and not thugs , murderers and torturous .Impunity Committed and displayed by Kenyan Leaders Since Indepedence must come to an end. Kenyans has become Schizophrenians (brain desease) that prevents them in distinguishing Murderers and true leaders. Fake and forced prayers this time wont help.
Now that Ruto is mentioned as the killer of hundreds of kikuyu peasants in RV the ICC should move with haste and finalise this murderer’s case. If Saddam was hanged for killing only 148 Iraqis, then Ruto should be hanged and fed to the dogs. He is a disgrace to humanity!
The youth for KANU 92 mania will not fade from the Kenyans’ mind any time soon. William Ruto and other self seekers were involved in the distribution of printed money in order to ensure the re-election of Daniel Moi back to power. What is not lost to most keen political observers is the fact that Ruto has never apologized to Kenyans for instigating political clashes that left thousands of Kenyan misplaced and hundreds dead. It is an open secret that Ruto was involved in planning, funding and executing the tribal clashes since the 1990s. Since Kenyans seem to have given him a pass for his evils by electing him to parliament, he took advantage of his position to perfect the 2008 atrocities that left thousands either dead or displaced.
Impunity leads to more impunity and Kenyans have had enough of Ruto. One wonders whether when he looks at himself in the mirror, does he see himself as a public servant, a thug or a crook? The correct answer lies on whether he can be forthright with Kenyans and step aside as an MP for he does not possess the moral authority to serve Kenyans in any capacity. Kenyans are demanding back the eroded dignity and honor to the public service arena. Lack of dignity and honor lead us to other scandals which Ruto has immersed himself in with impunity.
Kenyans remember vividly that when NARC came to power in 2003, Ruto and others were indicted for corruption charges involving millions of shillings. Ruto cried foul and incited his tribe against the then new government claiming his tribe was being persecuted through selected justice. Whatever deals Ruto cut with the courts are not clear and today Kenyan citizens are demanding a full account of Ruto’s corruption charges. If Ruto stole millions from NSSF through sale of valueless property or whatever means and got away scot free, what would make others not follow suit? The current scandal at NSSF is to some extent due to the fact that Ruto and others have never faced justice. Proposing appointment of new board of trustees and a Managing Trustee is not the panacea to the problems facing many public institutions in Kenya. As the audit report that was commissioned by Raila reveals, NSSF stands to lose millions and the government must act now.
Three years ago, it was revealed through a long blog by a Kenyan in the Diaspora that Ruto was involved in training a militia group known as the Karamajong Guerilla Fighters. The police, the CID or any authority in Kenya did not take any measures to verify with Ruto the extent of his clandestine involvement. Hence, Ruto comfortably unleashed the militia to perform the post-election violence in Rift Valley. Since the national security of Kenyans is threatened by Ruto, he should face justice for
all crimes and evil acts that he has committed against Kenyans.
ICC Prosecutor Moreno-Ocampo has found Ruto and other politicians to be guilty of inciting the public and perpetrating violence. Hence, they should be banned from holding office or contesting for elective positions in future. The honorable thing for Ruto to do if he truly considers himself an honorable MP, is to pull out of the Presidential race immediately because of his questionable conduct. He has no moral authority to lead Kenya. He should not attempt to fire up ethnic sentiments to rally support from the poor people he has used to many years.
Enough is enough! Ruto Must Be Jailed at The Hague! He should also be accommodated in the cell once used by Milosovic, a fellow human butcher.
Ngatia what do you think of the young lady presidential aspirant Kingwa Kamenchu? I believe she is worth the big seat. Kura kwa Kimenchu while The Hague for Ruto and Uhuru!
word has it that the extravagant member for Eldoret North’s financial Waterloo is nigh. lately, he has been unable to pay any of his bills starting from rally allowances for his battalion of MP’s including his mouthpiece Kutuny, Isaac Ruto, Kones etc. he has a pending airline bill running into millions of Shillings at wilson airport, he can no longer afford to pay his staff. wat happened to the member for Eldoret north. can he sustain a presidential run? after his sacking from cabinet, limited access to the president and falling out with Money bags UK things have not been very rosy. reports have it that even his campaigns have reduced in pomp and glamour. while he used to give Ksh. 1 million in harambees he now gives a paltry Ksh.200,000 and sometimes pledges. In the run up to 2007 he was also getting broke but the ODM wave salvaged him. will he pull a similar move for 2012? are his recent moves campaigning all out in the country a maneuver to attract money from other serious candidates to sort his financial woes?
How did Ruto come by his wealth? It is also a well known fact that he used the YK92, an despicable group of youth that did all kinds of weird things to keep then President Daniel arap Moi in power in the face of advancing demands for multi-party democracy. Ruto had found his way Moi’s State House as a university choir leader. And according to Citizen TV, he became the treasurer of YK92.
As members of the group, everyone knows they had access to anything they fancied – including the country’s treasurer. In deed, when Shs 500 notes was issued it was nicknamed Jirongo after the group’s Cyrus Jirongo, current MP for Lugari. The nickname arouse out of the habit of the YK92 leaders of carrying large quantities of the Shs500 notes and dishing it out to however they pleased.
Some say, through this route, Ruto acquired plots in prime areas in Nairobi totaled to millions of shillings. Some of the plots, it is said, he sold to government parastatal at inflated prices. In deed, there have been many cases against Ruto related to ill-gotten properties some of which have been dismissed by the courts in unconvincing circumstances.
One analyst claims that Ruto with a “handful of Kenyans including other YK92 colleagues and Kamlesh Pattni, made millions of Kenyans much poorer overnight by flooding the country with cartons of cash (mainly 500 bob notes).”
And in deed, during that period, Kenya as a country was struggling on the verge of bankrupt with the economy growing backwards on the minus scale.
Ruto is one of the so-called Ocampo Six – high ranking Kenya men facing a variety of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

Ruto will be known as RRB – Ruto the Rift valley Butcher – for all he did to his fellow Kenyans.
Baby killer, women rapist, old people murderer, etc! Get ready for a thin bed at the Hague
