Azimio la Umoja executive director Raphael Tuju now claims that Deputy President William Ruto was paid to support Uhuru Kenyatta's presidential bids.
Speaking on Wednesday, Tuju insisted that the DP never supported the President willingly, as he publicly says.
"He was paid. Let the people of Mt Kenya not think Ruto supported Uhuru willingly, this is a person of blackmail. I can confirm before a court of law how," he told Inooro FM.
But the DP has trashed the remarks Tuju.
Through his director of communications Emmanuel Talam, he said: "Because he seems to know more he should provide receipts for payment".
"It is amazing how Tuju never gets exhausted being used and dumped by deep state agents to fight DP. He should take time off and reflect on whether it's worth it," he added.
Tuju noted that DP Ruto joined Uhuru with a set of demands, which led to him getting half of all cabinet slots.
He disclosed that Ruto backed the President with a set of demands that had to be met.
"To him (Ruto) politics is business and that is why when he was making appointments in the cabinets and parastatals, he had to be given a 50 per cent share."
On Monday, the former Jubilee secretary general said that should Ruto win the 2022 presidential election, him and DCI boss George Kinoti will have to leave the country.
He noted that the latest attacks directed at Kinoti are tell-tale signs that things will be tough for him in the event Ruto wins.
"I think someone like Kinoti and myself, we will have to find another country to go to... Especially for Kinoti, he will be forced to exile."
Tuju expressed confidence in his words, adding that he had no fear of contradiction in what will befall Kinoti.
