Jubilee Party leaders in the North Rift yesterday asked Baringo Senator Gideon Moi to respect DP William Ruto if he wants to ascend to Kalenjin leadership.

“Gideon has decided to go against the wishes of the Kalenjin community, which stood by his father for 24 years.

He is not the calibre of Ruto and he can’t ascend to the community’s leadership by trying to pull back Ruto. In fact, he is only known for bearing [President Daniel] Moi’s surname and nothing else,” Uasin Gishu JP chairman William Mutai said in Eldoret.

North Rift youth leader Samson Cherarkei said, “Let him first address the insecurity and development projects he has failed to initiate in his county. We respect him as a senator and he too should respect Ruto.”
