President William Ruto has responded sharply to his critics, stating that he will only bow to God and remain accountable to the Kenyan people—not to any individual.
Speaking at a rally in Maragua Constituency, Murang’a County, Ruto criticized what he termed as rising arrogance among some political opponents, accusing them of trying to dictate the country’s political direction.

He claimed that certain leaders act as though they control voters and can determine election outcomes, insisting that such thinking undermines democracy.
The President also dismissed attempts by rivals to impose conditions on him in exchange for political backing, saying he would not submit to such demands.
Ruto emphasized that leadership in Kenya is decided collectively by citizens, not a few individuals, and that voters will ultimately judge leaders based on their performance and service delivery.
Reaffirming his stance, he said he is willing to humble himself before Kenyans and God, but not before any person.

He further challenged the notion that political figures can control citizens’ choices, including their beliefs, lifestyles, and leadership preferences, urging Kenyans to make independent decisions.
Defending his mandate, Ruto reminded supporters that he was elected to serve them—not to seek approval from other leaders.
His remarks come amid increased political activity in the Mount Kenya region.
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, who also spoke at the event, supported Ruto’s position and called for respectful, issue-driven politics, citing former President Mwai Kibaki as an example of leadership focused on results rather than insults.
Kindiki added that Ruto’s leadership should ultimately be evaluated based on his development record.
