Ruto Says He’s not Swayed with ‘Must Go’ Slogan

President William Ruto says he is not bothered with a section of Kenyans pushing him to untimely exit office, through the ‘Must Go’ slogan.

According to him, as long as the country is headed in the right direction, all the other things remains to be noise.

Speaking on Saturday at the burial of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s bodyguard, George Oduor, in Ndori, Siaya County, the Head of State reiterated his focus to deliver the promises he made to Kenyans, adding that he is proud of the progress he has made in his tenure.

According to him, his governance has made significant reformation in the health and education among other sectors, insisting that he won’t bend to any intimidation and negative criticism formed against him including use of unnecessary slogans like ‘must go’ and other nicknames.

“So there is no problem. They have been calling me Kasongo or Zakayo. I am not bothered because I am focused. We must get our education right, and we must handle devolution in the right way,” Ruto commented

The Kenya’s First-in-Command, said criticism is part of leadership and that he can’t escape, and that even his predecessors experience the same.

“Criticism is normal. Now you are saying ‘Ruto Must Go.’ I have heard that several times. There was ‘Moi Must Go,’ and other subsequent leaders were also told they must go. ‘Must Go’ is just a normal song. There is no problem about it,” Ruto said.
