Deputy President William Ruto has now weighed in on the running mate issue that is rattling the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Alliance.
The DP now says that the matter of subjecting the Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka to an interview is an "Impunity" and out of order.
The Dp said the Wiper leader deserves some respect and putting him for an interview is a show of deceit.
"Though we are competitors,to subject HE Kalonzo to some humiliating 'interview' is impunity. We must unite to eliminate the culture of political deceit,the hallmark of some politicians. Whatever the circumstances every leader deserves some dignity and respect. Heshima si utumwa." Ruto said.

The DP's remarks come at a time when the Azimio camp is facing turbulent times regarding the seat of a running mate.
Wiper leaders have implored Kalonzo to turn down the vetting that is supposed to be conducted by a panel formed by the Azimio Council.
Ruto allies such as Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen have also condemned the Azimio team for subjecting Kalonzo to interviews.
Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang'ula also attacked Azimio saying they were keen to embarrass Kalonzo.
He added that the Wiper leader is justified to shun the interview saying it is a disgrace to his persona.
"He is at it again: disrespecting and humiliating his comrades. Now HE Kalonzo is to prostrate himself before Raila loyalists to demonstrate his “suitability” to be a running mate. SKM you deserve better! The outpouring of anger is justified."
