President William Ruto has once again hit back at former Prime Minister Raila Odinga as he dared him to come and face him.
Speaking during his tour of Kisii County, the Head of State noted that the Monday demonstrations left mama mboga, hawkers and boda boda operators unable to work.
He continued by asking why would the ODM party leader disturb the hustlers of the country when he is the one he defeated in the ballot box, thus if he has a problem he should come out and face him.

“Let me ask you (citizens), the person who competed with him is me. Why is he disturbing mama mboga? Stop disturbing the citizens, if you have a problem, come face me. I defeated you,” said President Ruto.
According to the President, the former Prime Minister should stop harassing Kenyans as they are busy working but instead step up and face him.
“Stop the arrogance and contempt of ordinary people. Why are you disturbing mama mboga. What are you asking them? I am the one you ran against. If you have an issue, you face me. stop going to harass ordinary people,” said President Ruto
The news comes at a time when the ODM Party leader accused Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua of planning to deploy hundreds of youths who will kill 1000 people and send the photos to ICC to initiate hearings against Azimio leaders.
As things stand, Kenyans have been called out to turn in large numbers and participate on mass demonstration every Monday and Thursday.
