"I was born in this country in Eastlands and even in 2007, I remember my blood brother was for ODM while I was in PNU. But when we disagreed in the morning, Daddy Owen had to run to the streets with his friends with pangas, seeking to harm me," said Rufftone". He noted.
Rufftone who is currently, vying for the Nairobi senatorial seat in the much-awaited August 9 general stated that he didn't choose Orange Democratic Movement {ODM} as his political party ticket since ODM is characterized by hooliganism.

"When we differ with you politically, you don't have to manifest physically to harm me whether verbal or physical," he stated.
The musician revealed that he joined Deputy President William Ruto's UDA party because of its structures, praising the Tanga Tanga team's bottom-up economic approach as one that will empower young people.
