Former Presidential Candidate Ekuru Aukot has opined that Western countries are only using President William Ruto for their benefit for the time being.
In an update on Monday August 21, Aukot said that the western nations will dump Ruto when he is no longer of use to them.
The Third Way Alliance Party leader claimed that the west countries don’t care about African Presidents and Heads of government.
“The West is only using him (Ruto) for the time being, as they used his predecessor. Those folks don't care about African presidents. They're conveniently used. They are dumped at the right time, especially when there is no further use for them,” he tweeted.

His remarks come days after Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua revealed that President Ruto is the most desired visitor around the world.
Speaking on Friday, August 18 during the closing ceremony of the Devolution conference held in Uasin Gishu county, Gachagua said the President would have been out of the country most of the time if he was to honour every invitation to countries around the world.
"This William Ruto you despised and gave no chance is today the desired visitor of every capital in the world. If he was to honour the invitations to the countries he is being asked to visit he will be out of this country for 360 days in a year. People are envious, they thought the West and East will not embrace our President, and they said he is a thief and corrupt. Our President is being sought by every country in Africa to speak for the continent, “said Gachagua.
