Deputy President William Ruto has hit out at a section of members of the opposition for being behind the fake gold saga worth Sh400 million.
Speaking in Muanda in Bumula on Sunday, the DP said that the group involved in the saga is the very same one that has been troubling the government and is well known.
In a shot at Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga and his team, Ruto insisted that they are behind the deal which was allegedly aimed at defrauding Dubai rulers.
"The Opposition accused Jubilee of stealing the Eurobond, which was false. They said we’ve sold Mombasa Port, which was false. Now they are selling fake gold. Kenyans now know who the con men are,” Ruto was quoted by the Standard.
He added that Kenyans now have a good platform on which to select their leaders after those who have been in the front line in accusing the government of all manner of things came out to be the actual villains.
The DP further noted that the scandal's revelation comes as an eye-opener to Kenyans and proof they have been mingling with some of the worst people as their leaders.
“Some leaders should stop pretending they are clean yet they are part of dubious deals, as in the case of the fake gold,” he said.
