Leaders and elders have told off deputy president to stop seeking for sympathy in the race to the house on the hill come 2022.
This comes barely hours after the former Eldoret North MP described his story of a poor background adding that he wore his first shoe in 1981.
Here are some of the comments from Kenyans who criticized that narrative:
I equally grew up from a humble background,but I don’t subscribe to the thinking that we only thank God because he has made us to have material things and to have also blessed us to ascend to high political offices,but we have every reason to thank him for the gift of life.

Dear DP Ruto. Just because you were poor and stole to become rich, doesn't give you reason to assume you're entitled to thank God more than others. Everyone has a struggle and reason to thank God. It's not about money. Some would exchange good health for money.

He doesn’t have to. Suffice to say politically, Uhuru has a more checkered history…

There is something I don’t get. How is the @JubileePartyK, which has in its civil service ranks someone like @FredMatiangi, thinking of fielding William Ruto for presidency? If this party does that; it will be one of the most pathetic outrages it ever committed on Kenyans! pic.twitter.com/4jx09GBBnS
