The assassination saga of Deputy President William Ruto continues to elicit mixed reactions with his handlers now blaming unknown forces of plotting sinister motives.
Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya, who has been dragged to the saga, has remained vocal, accusing the DP of failing to do thorough investigations before bringing forth the matter.
“I would expect somebody in that office to do proper investigations. There are machineries to do that before making unsubstantiated and wild allegations of that nature,” said Mr Munya as quoted by the Nation.
“They are intended to make us look like criminals who meet to plot criminal activities against the DP. They are also meant to injure our reputation as law-abiding citizens of this country,” added the CS.
Other ministers who have been mentioned including Sicilly Kariuki of Health, Joe Mucheru of ICT and James Macharia of Roads and Transport.
But DP Ruto's personal assistant Emmanuel Talam believes that those planning to stop him from succeeding President Uhuru Kenyatta can do so without necessarily plotting murder.
"By the way it is possible to stop William Ruto from becoming president without killing him @kipmurkomen @OleItumbi," he said in a tweet.
On Tuesday, Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria said he is the one who initiated the meetings at La Mada Hotel where the alleged assassination was discussed but denied knowledge about the plot.
