Emurrua Dikirr MP Johana Ng'eno has launched a scathing attack on Deputy President William Ruto, accusing him of forcing the Kalenjin community to support Jubilee Party.
Speaking in Kabernet on Tuesday, Ng'eno asked Ruto to stop chest thumping and allow members of the Kalenjin community to freely chart their own political future.
"He should be informed that this country belongs to all Kenyans. Using force to have Kenyans accept his political wishes is wrong and should be rejected by the electorate," said Ng'eno.
The legislator said the DP had been undermining elected leaders in the region and stifling democracy in his quest to become president in 2022.
"He has been going round telling people to ignore leaders who oppose him. He should be at the forefront uniting all Kenyans instead of dividing them," he added.
Ngeno also criticised Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen and his Nandi counterpart Stephen Sang, over remarks they made against Baringo Senator Gideon Moi, saying the two have no moral authority to lecture the Senator.
The two Jubilee legislators had accused Moi of undermining Ruto's leadership in the region and had sent a warning to him not to join the opposition in forming the National Super Alliance (NASA).
Murkomen had said it would be prudent for the Kanu chairman to support the DP as he was the presumed Kalenjin leader.
