Political analyst Martin Andati now says that Deputy President William Ruto's actions after his claims that his life is in danger raise serious questions on his allegations.
The nation was learnt of an alleged assassination plot against the DP on Monday, after he raised similar concerns with Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) George Kinoti.
But Andati has opined that Ruto's indifference after making the claims suggest otherwise, considering that he made the report through a phone call and is yet to record a statement.
He noted that it would be unusual for a man whose life is in danger to continue crisscrossing the nation as ussual without making a formal complaint with the police.
"Hadi sasa hajaandikisha taarifa. Huwezi tu kupiga simu kama mtu amekutishia maisha. Huwezi endelea na kazi yako wakati unajua maisha yako yako hatarini.
(He is yet to record a statement. You can't just make a phone call when your life is in danger. You cannot also carry on with your work with your life under threat)," he said.
The commentator made the remarks during an interview on Radio Maisha's Bunge La Maisha on Monday, where he added that the DP might be fearing contradicting himself at the police.
He as well stated that the DP's position, especially under the new constitution, makes him immune from assassinations, as he even sits in the security council.
Therefore, according to Andati, the DCI should not take the claims seriously, faulting the institution for wasting public funds investigating claims made through a phone call.
"DCI pia anaharibu pesa. Huwezi fanya uchunguzi kwa mambo ya kuambiwa katika simu (the DCI is wasting funds. You cannot investigate matters raised through the phone)," he added.
