Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen has sensationally claimed that there are plans to jail Deputy President William Ruto.
Murkomen claimed that ODM leader Raila Odinga has been telling his NASA co-principals; Moses Wetang'ula not to mind Ruto's rising political star there is plot to 'fix' him.
In an interview with Citizen TV on Sunday, the Elgeyo Marakwet quoted Raila to have said that he (Raila) is working with President Uhuru Kenyatta to ensure that the DP is imprisoned ahead of the 2022 general election.
"He has been telling his friends and you can ask Wetang'ula: 'Don't worry as Uhuru and I are going to jail Ruto and therefore he is going nowhere. We will deal with him'," Murkomen claimed.
The Senator further said the March 9 handshake between the President and the ODM leader was a plan by the latter to wreck Jubilee from inside and sabotage Ruto's bid for the presidency.
He said that although he had initially supported the truce, the recent remarks by the former Prime Minister accusing the DP of starting early campaigns was a clear indication he was not honest and genuine.
"The Building Bridges initiative is brilliant. However, one cannot go ahead to castigate MPs who are now meeting with the Deputy President," Murkomen stated.
