Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has hit out at Mt Kenya MPs allied to Deputy President William Ruto.
This is after they turned their guns to unnamed people who they claimed were out to block Ruto from vying for the presidency by reviving his case at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Ruto, alongside radio journalist Joshua Arap Sang, successfully battled the crimes against humanity they had been charged with at the Hague-based court over the 2007/2008 post-election violence.
The court dropped the case in 2016 after prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said the witnesses she was planning to use had been compromised but vowed to revive the issue once she gathers enough evidence to support the case.
Over the weekend, Mt Kenya legislators accused the DP rivals of helping Bensouda gather fresh evidence to nail him ahead of the next election.
Led by Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wa and his Kiharu counterpart Ndindi Nyoro, the leaders said Ruto's enemies were working with the ICC to ensure he does not succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“The thieves who united and incited criminal charges against the DP and the President have been taking information to ICC. We want to tell them that the wave of the DP cannot be fought,” Nyoro said.
The lawmakers, who have been labelled 'Tanga Tanga' squad, spoke on Sunday when they accompanied Ruto for a service at the PCEA Kangaita, in Tetu, Nyeri County.
Kabogo has, however, criticised their remarks and asked the MPs to come out clear and name individuals they allege were working with Bensouda.
In a tweet on Tuesday, the former county boss further advised the politicians to stop empty rhetoric and focus on serving the electorate.
"That’s all these Mpigs think about. Can they go to their constituencies and campaign there. They can also use that chance to name the plotters against DP’s “Quest” for power. Kenyans want development, not that BS, " tweeted Kabogo.
