Kenya’s President-elect William Ruto says the outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta has not seen it fit to congratulate him for his election win.
Mr. Ruto said he had worn the elections, that is what is important… but unfortunately, President Kenyatta has not seen it fit to congratulate him and that maybe the outgoing President is a bit disillusioned, or maybe unhappy that he defeated his candidate.
The interview was aired hours after Mr. Ruto tweeted about his telephone conversation with President Kenyatta, in which they discussed the general election and the transition to a new administration.
Mr. Ruto, an evangelical Christian, also told CNN that gays rights are “not a big issue” in the country at the moment, and that he will focus on more pressing issues of unemployment and hunger. END
