Bomet governor Isaac Rutto has accused the Jubilee adminstration of misappropriating funds meant for the Mau Forest evictees.
Speaking on Thursday at the Itare IDP camp, the outspoken governor further claimed that the government was not keen on resettling the evictees.
He further absolved the opposition coalition NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga of any blame regarding the predicament facing the evictees.
"Jubilee has been saying that Raila Odinga evicted families from the Mau forest but they are worse," he said.
He was accompanied by Nakuru Governor aspirant Dr Peter Koros and Kuresoi South MP Zakayo Cheruiyot.
"Cheruiyot and I are the only people who will rescue Rift Valley residents from greedy leaders out to trade for their personal gain," the Chama Cha Mashinani leader added.
