Professor Makau Mutua claims that Deputy President William Ruto will not be President are nonsensical, Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has said.
In a tweet moments after the US-based lawyer made the remarks, the Murkomen said that the remarks are baseless.
He reminded that lawyer that Ruto, who is considered as one of the front runners in the race for power, has been his worst enemy for ages.
“While watching the #NIGRSA I am told there is a visitor on #JKLive who has used over 40mins to spew vitriol against one individual. He believes the problems of Kenya starts&ends with WSR. You can’t have a purported human rights lawyer whose hatred of an individual is that palpable,” he said.
According to Makau Ruto lacks qualities to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta. Speaking during an interview on Citizen TV’s JKL show, Makau said Ruto has acquired his wealth through unlawful ways because he is not ready to reveal the same.
He also said that the country cannot afford to elect a leader of his nature if we want to gain economic progress at the end of the day.
“Nothing but as a person who believes in clean governments I want to know where individuals get their wealth,” he said.
