Former UDA vice chairman Kipruto Kirwa has raised concerns over President William Ruto's pattern of picking up fights.

Kirwa claimed Ruto is always determined to look for someone to fight.

"For those who have been studying William Ruto, he always looks for the monster to fight," he said.

Kirwa who is ex- Cherangany MP claimed when Ruto was in ODM with now opposition chief Raila Odinga, the monster to fight at the time was the Kikuyu nation.

However, the tune changed when ODM joined The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy.

"When he (Ruto) moved away from ODM and formed the coalition, he started to fight Raila," Kirwa said.

The legislator said since then Ruto has been fighting Raila even since the handshake came in March 2018.

Kirwa said post handshake even now, Ruto is fighting his former boss retired President Uhuru Kenyatta.

"This time he (Ruto) has been fighting Uhuru and still wants to put him with Raila and fight them in one corner. You don't see him, you see the people he is fighting," he said.

Kirwa claimed that Ruto creates an enemy then he goes for them to ascertain himself in power.

He spoke during an interview on KTN News on Tuesday.

Even despite winning the Presidential elections, he claimed the head of state was still looking for those whore not in government to fight them.

"But he(Ruto) has realised that he has now reached the apex and he is the man in town. He is now looking for those who left town and fighting them," Kirwa said.

At the moment, a fresh war has emerged between President  Ruto and his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta with the incumbent's troops training their guns on the retired President's perks.

A section of Ruto's foot soldiers also wants Uhuru sacked as a regional peace envoy, a move that could trigger political tremors in the entire East African region.

Ruto has indirectly accused Uhuru of funding Raila's anti-government meetings, but his allies have been more blatant.

This came after Nyandarua Senator John Methu wrote to KRA, demanding a tax audit of at least three Kenyatta family firms.
