Kisii County Deputy Governor Joash Maangi has dismissed the Ipsos report ranking DP William Ruto as the most corrupt person in the country.
According to Maangi, some politicians are fighting DP Ruto after he declared interest in vying for the presidency in 2022.
“Ruto is being chased by political enemies who are funding fake reports to be released with the intention to tarnish the DP's name. This is not the right time and they should keep off Ruto’s path,” he said.
The DG urged DP Ruto to ignore the poll reports which he termed as fake and instead focus on helping his boss President Uhuru Kenyatta to develop the country.
“Your Excellency, you should turn a deaf ear to the reports being released to tarnish your name and focus on helping President Uhuru to deliver quality services to the common citizens,” he said.
Maangi said those who have been engaging in corruption are being arrested by authorities to be prosecuted.
He called on leaders to shun divisive politics and work round the clock towards realising development in the country.
Maangi was speaking on Thursday at his rural home in Riogongera, Kisii County when he hosted DP Ruto.
