President Uhuru Kenyatta has finally shed more light on the allegation that Deputy President William Ruto almost slapped him in State House. In his speech, the Head of State said that it is indeed true that he wanted to go back home. Uhuru said that his conscious could not allow him to wrestle for power in a violence-stricken nation.
Speaking about what he would have done if Ruto slapped him, Uhuru said;
If they had slapped me over power, I would have given them the other cheek to slap Yes I wanted to go back to Ichaweri because I couldn’t compare power with bloodshed. These seats we occupy (Presidency) are not more valuable than human life. I had said yes, I will not see more people lose lives because of a seat
Uhuru confirmed that he saw the country almost sinking into another moment of bloodshed, something that he was completely avoiding since human life is of great import.
THOSE who wanted to slap me because I was about to give up the seat were the same ones who accused me of trying to use BBI to extend my term. How was I extending power which I had given up on. State House is not a place of fun and merrymaking. I am looking forward to Aug 9, to end this term and go to have my peace with no one bothering me, ” said Uhuru.
