NAIROBI: Deputy President William Ruto Tuesday took the war of words between him and Raila Odinga a notch higher when he told the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy leader to stop being evasive about a debt he allegedly owes a sugar miller.

Reacting a day after Raila made abrasive remarks about him, the DP suggested that the CORD leader was partly responsible for crippling the sugar sector.
