Deputy President William Ruto has no moral authority to talk about corruption.
Lawyer Edwin Sifuna and Nairobi Nasa senatorial candidate have said that Ruto, of all the people, shouldn't be the one to lecture the country on matters corruption.
Speaking on Wednesday during NTV's Sidebar program, Sifuna alleged that the DP is at the centre of all mega-scandals that have ravaged the Jubilee administration since it came to power in 2013.
"William Ruto should spare us. Of all the people he has no moral authority to talk about moral authority. He has been part and parcel of a regime that has orchestrated the worst corruption in Kenya's history," said Sifuna.
Sifuna was answering to Ruto's claims that Nasa has no moral standing to fight corruption because they are owned by graft cartels.
“Their entire campaign is paid for by corrupt cartels with money stolen from Kenyans. How will you fight corruption when the choppers you are using and your entire secretariat are paid for by corruption cartels? Tell your story to the birds," Ruto said on Wednesday during a campaign trail in Kirinyaga County.
On Monday, a picture published by the Daily Nation, shows Raila disembarking from a helicopter, 5Y JWJ, allegedly owned by businessman Jimmy Wanjigi, Kenya's most feared man, according to the article that accompanied the photo.
