President William Ruto has on Saturday downplayed ‘Ruto Must Go’ chants as compared them to political slogans used to call out the Head of State.
Speaking during the burial of George Oduor, the aide of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga in Ndori, Siaya County, President William Ruto noted that the chants no longer bother him.

“Sasa nyinyi mnaniambia Ruto must go, mimi nimeskia hiyo mara mingi. Kulikuwa na ‘Moi must go’ na mengine…hii ‘must go’ ni wimbo tu ya kawaida, there is no problem. Shida iko wapi?” he said
He continued by taking note of the many other names he has been branded saying that they do not bother him but he will remain focused to deliver his promise to Kenyans.
“Mara wananiita Zakayo, mara Kasongo, mara nini…I am not bothered. I am focused: we must get our education right; we must get our electrification right; we must get our infrastructure right; and we must handle devolution properly, so that we can all move the country forward. And I welcome any assistance so that we can make Kenya great; that is my mission and commitment,” he said
According to the Head of State, he also benefited from the services of George during his time at ODM saying that whenever George was needed he was there.
“I came to know George as a member of ODM then, and we were in many places together. Somebody said here that I benefitted also from his security services, and that is true. Whenever we went to situations as members of ODM, George was on hand,” he said
