The question of how Deputy President William Ruto acquired his wealth seems not to go away. Now, former presidential candidate Martha Karua has asked how the Deputy President acquired his vast wealth.
In a tweet on Tuesday morning, the NARC-Kenya party leader blasted Ruto for a showy display of his wealth in the process of helping people across the nation.
''Good he is helping, but how did he acquire his choppers and ostentatious wealth or does the end justify the means?'' asked Martha Karua.
Karua was reacting to State House secretary digital in the communications department Dennis Itumbi's tweet that
''DP @WilliamsRuto airlifting medical personnel to the affected sites in West Pokot,'' Itumbi had written on Monday.
Ruto accompanied by Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen flew to West Pokot despite the bad weather that hindered the Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiangi and Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa from going to the same venue.
On arrival in West Pokot, the DP availed his chopper for transportation of nurses and other personnel to help the victims of the Saturday landslides that has since claimed the lives of more than 52 lives with over 20 others still missing.
This is not the first time leaders have raised concerns over the vast wealth of the second in command of the Republic of Kenya.
However, Ruto has on various occasion refused to reveal the source of his wealth and asked those asking questions to find it out themselves.
