The DP further clarified his loyalty to President Kenyatta started way back 1998 before retired President Moi nominated Uhuru Kenyatta to parliament and not only in Jubilee party.

” i knew Uhuru in 1998,1998; even the first time Uhuru Kenyatta come to parliament as a nominated member, the former President Moi send me to Mark Too to resign so that Uhuru Kenyatta can be nominated, and Uhuru knows it” Ruto clarified.

Ruto narrated how he participated in the nomination of Uhuru Kenyatta to parliament in 2001 despite the incumbent at that time coming with tough conditions.

“I had a rough time with Mark Too, persuading him and he gave me a list of conditions, and i explained to both Former President Moi and Uhuru, that is how far back i go” he narrated.
