The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party has once again hit out as a section of Jubilee Party leaders who have questioned the ongoing purge on graft.
The group allied to Deputy President William Ruto has cried foul regarding the operation being considered by the directorates of Criminal Investigation and Public Prosecution, claiming that it is targeting some of its members.
But in a press conference in Nairobi on Sunday, ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna dismissed the claims, saying that the complainers are the guilty parties out to save themselves from prosecution.
He urged the two institutions to stand their ground and not allow themselves to be derailed by the political noises coming from the politicians.
"The DCI and DPP should not spare anyone or allow themselves to be intimidated by these people, the same ones they are investigating," he said.
He added that the opposition leader Raila Odinga-led party is in full support of the ongoing anti-graft efforts and will be ready to help in any way should it be required to.
Sifuna wondered why Ruto's camp is uncomfortable with DCI George Kinoti yet it is in government and Ruto actually took part in the exercise of picking him for the slot.
"The DCI was not appointed by ODM but President Uhuru Kenyatta and Ruto. So if they have issues let them ask Ruto and the government and not blame us," he noted.
