President William Ruto has questioned why the Orange Democratic Party (ODM) has been staging demonstrations against his government yet he was once their member.
Speaking on Friday, August 25 in Kisii County, the Head of State asked Kisii Governor Simba Arati to tell ODM politicians to stop calling for demonstrations against him and the Kenya Kwanza government.
“You said the truth, Simba, I used to be a member of ODM, why don't you tell those who are protesting against me, that they are demonstrating against their very own? What is the purpose of these protests? Can you really protest against your own? Tell them that the guy over there is one of us and they should stop the protests, “said Ruto.
The President at the same time urged Governor Arati to leave ODM and follow him in Kenya Kwanza saying he might be even successful after leaving the Raila Odinga-led party.
“Sasa kwa sababu nilikua mtu wa ODM, wewe Simba hama pia vile mimi nilihama tuendelee pamoja. Na unaona vile nilihama nimejipanga we huezi kujua ukifuatana na mimi hapo mbele unaweza..,” Ruto added.

He was responding to Arati after he asked him to allow the opposition to oversight the government without any fighting.
The Kisii Governor also asked President Ruto to reach out to him when he goes overboard and they work together.
"You were once in ODM, accept us on this side, so that we communicate, without fighting. When you see Simba has gone far, you call him, and we continue working together as one government," said Arati.
