The Jubilee Party has now claimed that Deputy President William Ruto uses approximately Ksh50 million every weekend in campaigns.
In the statement issued on Monday, April 4, Jubilee claimed that the Sh50 million is used on transport logistics and security for his campaigns.
In addition, Jubilee said that DP Ruto is taking advantage of the plight of Kenyans for political mileage.
"It is not lost to Kenyans that the Deputy President William Ruto uses not less than Ksh50 million every weekend in transport logistics for his campaigns and security, which is already an extra burden carried by the taxpayer.
"During his recent trip abroad, to the US & the UK, Mr. Ruto's 131-man cheering squad spent a whopping Ksh 200 million in logistics, flights, accommodations, and logistics. This is enough to provide an emergency food intervention programme in drought-stricken counties," the statement signed by Jubilee Sec-Gen Jeremiah Kioni read.

The party was responding to the Deputy President after claiming the fuel shortage being experienced in the country is a result of cartels in the government.
“This is the result between the collusion of monopolistic cartels and economic saboteurs on one hand and oblivious, reckless, and incompetent public officials on the other,” DP Ruto said.
At the same time, the Jubilee part told the DP to either return to the office and work or resign and become the opposition leader.
"Mr Ruto has two clear choices, occupy his rusty office at Harambee House and help the president dispense his mandate to the people of Kenya, as he constitutionally should, or resign from his position and lead the opposition atop his tax-funded top of the Land Cruiser," said Jeremiah Kioni.
