Deputy President William Ruto who visited Itumbi in hospital said the abductors wanted to kill his spirit but he was still strong.

"Spent time with Comrade DI last evening, saw his heavily bandaged arm and legs, the result of torture by people who should have been there to protect him and us all. They have now turned violent & fatalistic after all the negative narratives, threats, and blackmail against us failed," Ruto stated.

"They wanted to kill his spirit, but DI is strong and in very high spirits though doctors say he will be confined to bed for a month. Like Denis, we all must be strong, knowing that in a few months, we will defeat impunity, entitlement, kiburi na madharau, and free our nation for good."
