DP William Ruto has told off IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati asking him to "stop lecturing" them ahead of the October 26th vote.
Chebukati on Wednesday said
he could not guarantee that next week's presidential election will be credible.
He cited interference from politicians and threats of violence against his colleagues.
"Ironically, the very people, political leaders, who are supposed to build the nation have become the greatest threat to the peace and stability of the nation," Chebukati told journalists.
In a quick rejoinder via Twitter, Ruto said: "Chebukati should stop lecturing us and oversee the elections. He is not doing us and we need no favours. Btw we won on 8/8 fair and square."
But Ruto's tweet was not taken lightly with Kenyans on Social media criticising him.
"Jubilee think they can lie n talk there way out of everything as gunia carriers dance around n take oath of governor. Kenyans are MAD! Sana,"
Benji Ndolo said.
Walobwa Justus said: "You are the problem. Can assure you for free, come next elections utashindwa ushangae. Kenyans are listening to your chest thumps keenly."
Danny said: "Mark this tweet in 2022 the kikuyu/kalenjin divorce will be nasty ours will be to watch with popcorn! Kama vindeo kama ndrama."
"Hahaha you're clearly cornered. If you won fair on 8/8, relax and wait for 26th. Hizi kelele hazisaidii,"
Wachira wa NASAsaid.
Lone Felix said: "Dude, you are the Deputy President! Does it not bother you that this country can break? You proving to be a curse to this Nation!"
"If you won why campaign like there's no tomorrow, y did the election got invalidated and btw tsunami is coming pray hard,"
Dorcas ochwer said.
Omondi Moses said: "You
talk too much sir, that doesn't mean u r too courageous, sometimes it's wise to sit down & listen. So please u should stop lecturing too."
"Kindly spare Kenyans the unnecessary pain. You have the state machinery presently to make IEBC open the servers and make bare your victory,"
Victor Shikuku said.
@AhmeyNoor_Catoo said "Why are you pushing him to oversee a sham election? Forget about 26th as an election date and celebrate your Friend's birthday."
Another user supported Ruto's sentiments saying they legally won and President Uhuru will be sworn-in.
"Well put my DP. Kenyans must reject democracy saboteurs & Wakora system operatives in IEBC/Judiciary. Swear in Uhuru pap after Oct 26th poll,"
Atanasi said.
