President Uhuru Kenyatta has taken a swipe at his deputy William Ruto accusing him of what he termed as "spreading blatant lies" to the people.
With only 12 days to August polls, Uhuru said Ruto cannot be trusted with the country's leadership.
The head of state said his deputy has been peddling lies and urged the people to stay united and not to be swayed by petty politics.
Referring to the BBI, Uhuru said that the Deputy President lied to the people and that the initiative was not good for them hence denying them more resources that could have brought equity of resources.
"Someone told you that BBI was meant to extend my stay, but I will be going home in a few days to come. The BBI was important to our people because it could have brought equity. People fight because of resources," he said.
The president also lambasted Ruto for lying to the people of Mombasa and Naivasha about the standard gauge Railway and the Inland container depot.
"Na nataka tuambiane ukweli sababu the truth shall set us free. Tumekua na rafiki yangu na mimi sichukii mtu yoyote hata kidogo, lakini sipendi mtu wa uongo.
"Wewe unaenda pale Mai Mahiu unawaambia tumejenga reli, alafu unaenda Mombasa unawambia wale walichukua bandari wakapeleka Naivasha. Mimi sipendi hawa watu wa uongo, tunataka watu wa haki."
The President also called for unity and peace in the country as the general elections near.
The president maintained that his stand is to unite the people of Kenya for the sake of peace.
Referring to the handshake between him and the former premier, the head of state said the handshake was meant to bring peace to the country.
