Nakuru East MP David Gikaria has told off former Prime Minister Raila Odinga over his remarks implicating Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich among other top civil servants to the Eurobond saga.
Gikaria who spoke on Tuesday at Nyayo Gardens when Governor Kinuthia Mbugua was issuing bursary cheques to needy students in the county, told the ODM leader to stop seeking relevance in the political field by constantly criticising the national government with unfounded information on alleged corruption syndicates.
This after Raila linked CS Rotich, Treasury Principal Secretary Kamau Thuge , top Central Bank of Kenya officials and Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua to the saga, calling upon their resignation immediately.
“The Jubilee administration is dedicated to the country's development thus Raila Odinga should stop misleading Kenyans with his baseless corruption dossiers that are coined to tarnish its name,” said Gikaria.
The MP told Raila not to overstep his constitutional mandate as a leader of the opposition which is to oversee the National government and allow the offices of the Directorate of Criminal Investigation and EACC to conduct investigations.
He sarcastically asked Raila to take up the role of an EACC investigator if at all he did not have confidence in the report by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission which stated that no government officials were implicated and no Eurobond money was lost.
“The former PM should take up a job as an EACC officer or DCIO boss if he believes that they have been compromised so that he can carry out the investigations and reveal his dossiers as he claims,” said Gikaria
