[DPPS, Standard]Deputy President William Ruto is a lucky man because President Uhuru Kenyatta is a gentleman and respects the Constitution, Jubilee Party Secretary-General Raphael Tuju has said. Tuju said President Kenyatta, who is also the party leader, was yet to crack the whip on his deputy, but claimed were it not for the law, Ruto would have been sacked. On Wednesday evening, Tuju defended the party’s failure to deal with the DP who is accused of disloyalty to Jubilee. In the Juja by-election, the Jubilee candidate lost to People’s Empowerment Party affiliated with Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria. On the Kiambaa by-election, Tuju denied that it was the party pushing for the recount and that such demands can only be made by the candidate.
