"We had a very bad confrontation, he told me who do you think you are, this is my government with Uhuru."."

DAP-K party leader Eugene Wamalwa has come out to reveal why he fell out badly with President William Ruto. 

Speaking on Saturday, January 13 during an interview with NTV, Wamalwa said Ruto confronted him in 2018 after he took Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula to State House to meet retired President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The former Defence CS claimed that Ruto asked for his resignation letter from the government following the confrontation. 

“The reason was then that I had brought Wetangula and Musalia on board. And we had started this Luhya unity issue.

“He felt it was going to lock him out of Western because he had his presidential bid in 2022 so we had a very bad confrontation, he told me who do you think you are, this is my government with Uhuru, if you think you are going to bring these opposition fellows here with your Luhya unity nonsense get out, I want your resignation letter,” Wamalwa narrated.

The DAP-K leader then went to Uhuru and told him he had been asked to tender his resignation by the then Deputy President.

“I went to Uhuru Kenyatta and said boss I have been asked for my resignation letter, he told me who is your appointing authority? That is how my relationship with William Ruto ended,” Wamalwa added.

According to the former CS President Ruto felt he was undermined when he took Mudavadi, Wetangula, and the entire Luhya leadership to State House.

“When you look at his game plan, he would not have met these two without the ‘earthquake’, so he was targeting them and by me holding them on our side which I did all the way to the BBI I was blocking his pathway to the presidency,” the Azimio co-principal remarked.
