President Uhuru Kenyatta is genuine in his ongoing fight against graft contrary to claims by DP William Ruto and his allies that he's targeting Kalenjin community, Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu has said.
In the recent weeks, Ruto and a section of Rift Valley leaders have dismissed the fight as 'malicious', with Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen insisting that the motive behind is to thwart Ruto's 2022 ambitions.
"Kalenjin political leaders led by the DP, Sudi, Kipchumba etc; would like us to believe that this corruption fight is targeting the Kalenjin. For the record out of the 115 Kenyans charged in court on corruption cases so far; 43 are Kikuyus, 18 Luos, 11 Kalenjins, 6 Kambas, 6 Merus, 5 Kisiis," Ngunjiri argued.
"This story of Kalenjin leaders trying to play the victim and lying to their community that the Kalenjins are being targeted is complete BS! Total #Upuz! No one is after Kalenjins ... or Kikuyus ... or Luos ... or Kambas ... or Kisiis ... or Boranas ... or any community. No one has ever stolen public funds and shared with their community."
Over the weekend at Bomet, a furious Murkomen challenged President Uhuru Kenyatta to come out and concede that he's no longer interested in his deputy, who has backed him for the last two terms.
According to him, all leaders allied to Dr Ruto are ready to move forward, a move that would bring to the premature end of Jubilee Party which was formed in 2017.
“You cannot hide behind the handshake and fight against graft when we know that the agenda is to fight Ruto politically. Uhuru should come out and tell us he is tired with his deputy and we will call it a day,” said Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen.
