Defiant Ruto says he won't join JAP - Politics
Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto on Monday remained defiant that he will not join the Jubilee Alliance Party as he criticised the President for turning a prayer meeting into a political rally to market the outfit.
The governor further asked President Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto to stop "thumping their chests" as they market their new party and stamp out rebellion in the coalition.
"The Jubilee Coalition consists of the United Republican Party and The National Alliance. I don't know what this animal called JAP is… I will never join it," he said at a news conference on Monday.
Added Mr Ruto; "South Rift region is not an extension of Central province. Leaders here have their own style of doing things and this does not include being coerced."
He said they welcomed all leaders to Bomet, irrespective of their political affiliations, but pointed out that it was wrong for the visitors to "chest thump" while marketing their political parties manifesto and policies.
The governor spoke a day after President Kenyatta and his Deputy visited the region to attend a fundraiser for the construction of the African Gospel Church Investment Centre and regional office.
During the meeting, the two leaders hit out at those perceived to be rebels, asking them to toe the party's line or "the writing was on the wall" a move interpreted by many as having being directed to the Bomet governor, who has of late been vocal critic of the coalition.
On Monday, Mr Ruto said the two leaders went against the church's wishes that politics be kept out of the meeting.
"The Sunday function was purely a prayer service and it was wrong for the Head of State and his Deputy to use the podium to popularise JAP in South Rift region, he said.
The governor said even though they were happy that the President, who flanked by at least 30 MPs, three Senators and three governors visited the county, it was improper for them to introduce politics in the meeting.
He insisted that South Rift residents were in the Jubilee Coalition and not JAP.
