Deputy President William Ruto has assured Kenyans that there will peace in 2022. Ruto added that no one should fix a community on political conmanship that this community must support who to have peace.

If am elected or not I want to assure Kenya's that we will have peace. If I lose in 2022 I will accept and be a strong opposition leaders who will not take whoever elected to court or taking Kenyans on daily demonstrations.

Ruto said that he is sure Kenyans are wise and will vote for him come 2022. "President Uhuru Kenyatta and I are in Jubilee and we are delivering".

"We are now in exams and Kenyans will mark the test come 2022, that is why am moving in all parts of the country initiating development projects".

Responding to Tanga Tanga movement, Ruto said that it's the President who give him the responsibility to move to all parts of the nation listening and respobding to Kenyans needs and reporting to him.

On Stadiums

DP Ruto said that Jubilee has almost 12 stadiums ongoing construction and the process was delayed when we used money meant for that work to conduct the 2nd presidential elections in 2017 after the court ruled on the repeat but the work is now ongoing and they will be completed.

Referendum Issue

Deputy President said that the Constitution is for all Kenyans and not for few individuals who want to share leadership positions amongst themselves.
Am not opposing Constitutional change but I will only be involved if the referendum agenda will be based on improving the livelihood of 45 plus million Kenyans and not to the interest of few self self-centered politicians.

Uhuru-Ruto relationship

On the matter of how he relate with President Uhuru, Ruto said that he started to support Uhuru long time ago even when they did not win in 2002 and he is now supporting President Uhuru Kenyatta to deliver what they promised Kenyans during campaign period. He said that he works on the work given to him by President Uhuru Kenyatta as his Deputy President and Jubilee Deputy Party leader. 

War against corruption

Deputy President said that Kenya has constitutional bodies that are mandated and have capacity to fight corruption and that politicians should stop politicizing war on corruption for political gain. He said that some politicians promised to give evidence in a case of former Minister Murungaru for 13 years until the court slapped the officers involved with a fine of Ksh 27 million for defamation. He added that Kenyans must be genuine to win war on corruption, citing the recent auditor general's mix-up that wrongly fixed over 10 Governors thus including Kiambu County Governor Waititu.
