Former Kibwezi Member of Parliament Kalembe Ndile has been the latest leader to weigh-in in Deputy President William Ruto's claims about a possible assassination.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are currently investigating the claims which were made by the DP some three weeks ago.
But speaking on Tuesday, the former Assistant Minister rubbished Ruto's fears for his life, claiming that he is faking it, most probably for political reasons.
He said that the alleged letter being investigated over the claims must have originated from the Deputy President's quarters, suspecting that it had Ruto's blessings.
He joked that the latter has bow written to himself as he plans to assassinate himself.
"Hawa sasa hadi wamejiandikia barua ya kujiua (they have not written a letter about their own assassination)," he said on Radio Maisha's Bunge La Maisha on Tuesday morning.
However, he noted that as much as politics can at times include such games, the DP and his group seem to have gone a little overboard.
"Wamedanganyana lakini hapo penye imefika si vizuri (they have lied, but have gone too far)," he added
As if in agreement, DCI officers have zeroed in on Ruto's allies as possible authors of the letter which initially implicated some top state officials from Mt Kenya as the villains.
Consequently, Statehouse Digital Director Denis Itumbi has been nabbed over possible involvement in authoring the letter, which the police believe is fake.
