DP Ruto speaks after visiting Dennis Itumbi in hospital
By evans.maritim, December 29, 2021Deputy President William Ruto has spoken following the reported abduction and torture of his ally and supporter Dennis Itumbi.
In a recent statement, Ruto said that Itumbi is still strong and in high spirits even after his reported attack.
“They wanted to kill his spirit but DI is strong and in very high spirits though doctors say he will be confined to bed for a month. Like Denis,we all must be strong knowing that in a few months we will defeat impunity, entitlement, kiburi na madharau and free our nation for good,” Ruto tweeted on Wednesday morning.
Itumbi, a former Secretary of Innovation, Digital and Diaspora Communication in the Office of the Deputy President was reportedly abducted on Thursday, December 23, from a barbershop on Kiambu Road.
Itumbi was then reportedly found dumped in Lucky Summer, Kasarani, with injuries on his body that saw him hospitalized.
“Pole Dennis. Get well soon. God is the Almighty,” Ruto said after visiting him.
The Second-in-Command then called out Itumbi’s kidnappers claiming that they were the same people who should have protected him.
“Spent time with Comrade DI last evening, saw his heavily bandaged arm and legs, the result of torture by people who should have been there to protect him and us all. They have now turned violent & fatalistic after all the negative narratives, threats and blackmail against us failed,” Ruto said.
