Ruto: No amount of threats will lead to nusu mkate
President William Ruto has once again vowed that he will not allow a power-sharing (nusu mkate) government with the Opposition.
Speaking in Kiambu on Saturday, Ruto said he is not one to bow to pressure.
"Ile vitisho walikuwa nayo ndio wapate serikali ya nusu mkate haitafanyika tena. haiwezekani," he said.
The President vowed to be tough on the Opposition, noting that he will work towards delivering his manifesto to Kenyans.
"Nitawakalia ngumu. Mtu anataka kuharibia watu biashara, habembelezwi," Ruto said.
'Nusu Mkate' was a term coined to refer to the government of national unity similar to the one crafted in 2007 following the political standoff that ensued after the disputed presidential elections.
Raila would serve in the government between 2008-2012 as the Prime Minister under then President Mwai Kibaki after the two sides agreed to share power brokered by ex-UN boss Kofi Annan.
Allies of President Ruto have accused the Opposition of only being interested in sharing power with the Kenya Kwanza administration.
The opposition, however, refutes the same, insisting that their only interest is electoral reforms and the cost of living, which is too high.
