Former Vice President and Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has weighed in on the alleged assassination plot on Deputy President Dr William Ruto.
Speaking on KTN's 'Point Blank' on Wednesday hosted by Tony Gachoka, the Wiper Party leader said that the country cannot take a political assassination, calling on the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to carry out conclusive investigations into the claims.
"The country cannot take a political assassination. This is why it is more important that this matter be gone into and the truth be known, " Kalonzo Musyoka said.
An expeditious investigation, Kalonzo contended, would help ensure that justice is dispensed in the matter.
The assassination plot saga took another twist on Wednesday as renowned blogger Dennis Itumbi was arrested over a fake letter.
Four Cabinet Secretaries led by Peter Munya presented themselves to the DCI over the alleged assassination plot, rejecting the allegations that they were actively planning to eliminate the deputy president.
CSs James Macharia (Transport), Sicily Kariuki (Health) and Joe Mucheru (ICT) and a host of PSs and parastatal heads were accused of meeting at La Mada Hotel along Thika Road to flesh out the assassination plot.
Sleuths from DCI are carrying out investigations into the matter in a bid to establish the authenticity of the assassination claim made against the CSs.
Kalonzo warned that should the claims prove to be bogus, then they would ruin the reputation of those falsely implicated.
