Prime Cabinet secretary Musalia Mudavadi has rubbished claims by Azimio that President William Ruto is going after those who opposed his presidency
Mudavadi said the president is a mature leader who will not pursue revenge against his political tormentors.
Mudavadi said the President is determined to implement his bottom up economic agenda that was the key campaign promise to Kenyans.
"The President did not win by selling revenge. He sold an agenda to transform this country," Mudavadi said when the President led Kenya Kwanza troops for a thanksgiving service in Nakuru.
"The evil things that were visited on Ruto do not define his agenda. He has gone above that and he is now focused on growing this country."
The opposition coalition led by Raila Odinga has been crying foul that President Ruto has launched ruthless crackdown on those who opposed his presidency.
The PCS asked all Kenya Kwanza leaders to always remember that the president will not revenge against anyone who wronged him.
"In the Kenya Kwanza agenda, revenge does not exist. We want to unite the country under the leadership of William Ruto. We want to be a law abiding nation under William Samoei Ruto and we want to have a nation of fairness and justice," he said.
A number of Kenya Kwanza leaders have urged the President to decisively deal with those who persecuted him politically when he served as Deputy President.
However, Mudavadi on Sunday said the President has no business to go after his political detractors, urging leaders to be cognisant of that.
"Those of us who are his lieutenants, I would like to urge that let us work together with the president to bring everybody together," he said.
During the service former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko asked the President not to have mercy on leaders who tortured him.
