NAIROBI: Deputy President William Ruto has attributed his success to sheer hard work, resilience and divine intervention. Describing himself as a chicken seller, the deputy president took a swipe at his political rivals for tarnishing his name because they did not believe he "could go this far".

During a television interview, Ruto also dissociated himself and the Government from corruption allegations.
