Three opposition Members of Parliament have criticized their colleagues in the Jubilee camp over their remarks that the fight on corruption is targeting the Deputy President William Ruto and members of his community.
The MPs Mark Nyamita (Uriri), Samuel Atandi (Alego Usonga) and Nominated MP Godfrey Osotsi have faulted the Rift Valley MPs for the remarks they made Wednesday that the war on graft is leaning towards the Kalenjin community.
Speaking on Thursday, they told off their Jubilee colleagues not to politicize the war against graft.
On Wednesday, MPs Nelson Koech (Belgut), Benard Koros (Sigowet-Soin) and David Sankok (nominated) sensationally claimed that the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) was targeting leaders from the Kalenjin community in a bid to scuffle the 2022 succession politics.
Nyamita said such remarks were a clear indication that the legislators were not in support of the war on graft and questioned their loyalty to Jubilee party, wondering why they are not in full support of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Nyamita asked the Rift valley MPs to retract their statements and apologize to Kenyans immediately.
Osotsi said leaders regardless of any political affiliation should join hands in combating corruption that has led to the loss of billions of shillings.
At the same time, Osotsi asked the DPP Noordin Haji not to be intimidated by dark forces who are out to see him not succeed in the purge on corruption. Atandi said there were no sacred cows, and anyone suspected and found culpable of committing an economic crime should be dealt with accordingly.
