Mrs Kilimo fell short of asking Mr Ruto to run for the presidency in 2012, but declared that he should lead them in the new political direction.
“We are determined to take over the country’s leadership and we want Ruto to help bring such change,” said Mrs Kilimo.
Cherangany MP Joshua Kutuny, a sharp critic of the PM and a close ally of Mr Ruto, said that although the Kalenjin community supported Mr Odinga in the last poll, they were getting a raw deal from his leadership.
The meeting also raced to the defence of retired President Daniel arap Moi and asked the PM to stop pointing fingers at him. “The PM should respect other leaders, including retired president Moi.”
The PM had asked Mr Moi to keep off the Mau issue and vowed to deal directly with the locals in handling the matter and other development issues affecting the country.
The MPs called for the speeding up of constitution-making, saying the document was critical in streamlining the country’s governance.
They also said that TJRC was the only way to bring peace.

Personally, I see Ruto a worse dictactor two times worse than his mentor, man Moi. The good thing is, he will never, and I repeat, never lead this country. Kenyans are now clever and those war mongers need to style up...Moi never wanted another strong man in RV, so you know what these represent, crap.

I like politics why cheat. These same politicians criticised Moi and Kibaki but now they are praising them. I can see the Mau Forest syndrome. The only solution that can be done to these same politicians is to vote all them out come 2012.
