Deputy President William Ruto on Wednesday, July 13, lost his temper as he furiously scolded a supporter during a Kenya Kwanza rally.
Speaking at Vihiga County, the seemingly angry DP pointed at the supporter requiring him to be quiet as the crowd tried to interrupt his speech.
The second in command could not give his speech at one point as the crowd became disorderly making the DP lose his temper.
“Wewe kijana wacha kunijibu. Unanijibu kama nani? Kama umeleta kisirani kwa hii mkutano utoke. Huwezi kuja hapa na kuharibu mkutano,” The DP said.

The DP’s remarks come even as a viral audio clip quoted him saying that he almost slapped President Uhuru Kenyatta during a 2017 incident.
Defence CS Eugene Wamalwa on Saturday, July 9, said that the DP also almost slapped him after he organized a meeting of a delegation from Western Kenya with President Uhuru.
The CS claimed that the second command has a bad temper, adding that he also almost slapped the Interior CS Fred Matiang’i.
"Jamaa alikuwa na hasira sijawahi ona. Karibu nipate hiyo slap. Lakini hiyo slap ingeteleza iniguze, mimi singempa shavu lingine, ningempa uppercut moja tungeonana mundu khu mundu.
“Sio Mimi pekayangu, kuna waziri mwingine Fred Matiang'i karibu apigwe pia. Siku rais aliongeza Matiang'i mamlaka, huyo jamaa alikua na hasira kwake sana," Wamalwa said.
