Deputy President William Ruto has responded to President Uhuru Kenyatta's dare asking him to resign from the government if he is unhappy.
Speaking in Kwale, Ruto reiterated that he was rightfully elected alongside the President and he will not step down.
His remarks came after the Head of State in an interview with editors from different media houses at State House on Monday said the DP should quit if he does not like the way the he is running government.
President Kenyatta noted that it was unfair for the DP to criticize the same administration he is serving under.
"If you are not happy, step aside and allow those who want to move on do so, then take your agenda to the people. That is what happens in democracy, you cannot ride on what we have done and talk a different language on the side," he said.

President Kenyatta expressed displeasure with the way the DP has been riding on the achievements of his government, while at the same time criticising his administration.
The President maintained that he is keen on fulfilling his agenda to the electorate, adding that the Big 4 and other key projects are on course.
"If you are not happy, step aside and allow those who want to move on do so, then take your agenda to the people. That is what happens in democracy, you cannot ride on what we have done and talk a different language on the side," President Kenyatta said.
The DP has been claiming that his roles were handed over to Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang'i, with the aim of intimidating and disgracing him.
