He instead wants the legislators to support his government in achieving its mandate.
Ruto says some of the lawmakers, who have taken the government head-on recently over certain decisions, should leave the role to the opposition.
“You have a huge stake in this government succeeding. The success of this government is your success and the success of the people of Kenya.
“Our competitors in the opposition would be doing their bit. You must do yours.
“Sometimes there is a temptation to join the opposition in doing certain things, please avoid the temptation to join the other side when they are doing their job,” Ruto said.

The President wants the legislators to use the available platforms within the coalition to iron out any issues of concern.
“The opposition’s job is to criticize the government and sometimes it’s easier to criticize the government and there is usually a huge temptation to join the criticism.
“You must remind yourself always that the government being criticized is yours so as you stand to criticize, begin with yourself because this is your administration,” he added.
“If there are any issues that are of concern to any of us we have parliamentary group meetings, and caucuses like this one. We can sit here and correct ourselves in-house and when we leave here we leave united to prosecute the agenda of the government that we set up.”
