William Ruto’s innocent comment ‘Wakenya Wanyongwe’ went viral on last Sunday all for the wrong reasons.
Bitter Kenyans who seem to be once all in arms against the new hiked fuel prices could not accept the mistake of a slipped tongue even after the Deputy President quickly corrected it.
“Najua kwamba kwa sababu ya budget, kuna lalama kuna mahali haikakaa vizuri. Mimi nataka niwaelezee wakenya kwamba kama serikali tutaketi chini ili tuelewane tuwe na mipango ya kutafuta kodi ya kuendesha maendeleo ya Kenya lakini vile vile tuhakikishe kwamba Wakenya wanyongwe… Wanyonge wasifinywe,” DP Said during last Sunday service at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in North Horr, Marsabit Constituency.
Kenyans went on social media to pick that back he did not mean, quoting him to have said it intentionally.
