Orange Democratic Movement party leader Raila Odinga and Deputy President William Ruto have differed sharply over the alleged loss of Sh21 billion allocated to the Arror and Kimwarer Dam projects in Elegyo-Marakwet.
In his address to the party’s National Governing Council meeting, Raila said that no one is immune to the law and justice must prevail. He told off the second in command for instating that no single coin has been lost through the project.
On Friday, Ruto, who is considered one of the front-runners in the race to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta, insisted all the funds allocated the project were used properly and asked Raila to remain silent arguing that he knows little about the same. Ruto reminded Raila that the war against corruption is a collective responsibly.
He further said that Raila main before 2022 is to ensure Jubilee has disintegrated.
“He is a master of propaganda… he told his friends that he is coming to break Jubilee and I want to tell him that there is no shortage of fools,” DP Ruto said, as quoted by Citizen.
Ruto has declared the interest in the Presidential race after Uhuru leaves office. Raila remains one of the Ruto’s threats to rise to power.
