ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna has linked Deputy President William Ruto to deactivation of his boss President Uhuru Kenyatta's social media accounts.
Uhuru's official Twitter and Facebook accounts were suspended after an 'unauthorised' party gained access to them on Friday morning.
However, Sifuna has accused Ruto of using proxies to hack Uhuru's social media accounts as a way of frustrating the ongoing war on graft which the Head of State has marked as part of his legacy.
"It is shocking that some people have even infiltrated the social media accounts of the President and brought it down due to his commitment to fight graft," the former Nairobi senatorial seat aspirant said, as quoted by the Nation.
Sifuna spoke on Saturday while campaigning for the party's candidate in the upcoming Ugenya parliamentary seat by-election.
Before Uhuru went offline, he tweeted that the purge on graft will spare no one including his 'closest political ally'.
"If you are corrupt we will fight you. You can be my brother or my sister or my closest political ally. I won’t be clouded by ethnicity or status in my quest to leave behind a united nation and I will continue championing for Kenya’s unity," read the tweet.
State House, through Chief of Staff Nzioka Waita, has insisted the President meant his words and noted the suspension was temporary.
"All official social media handles for the President have been temporarily suspended to allow for the necessary remedial measures to be undertaken," Waita tweeted on Friday.
