Speaking to residents at Kenyoro in Nyamira County, the DP insisted that the opposition leaders presided over a graft-prone government, saying corruption in Jubilee is a mere propaganda fuelled by the opposition.

"During the period they served in government, there was more corruption than what they claim is happening in Jubilee government now, and that is why they did not achieve much while in power," he said as quoted by the Nation.

"They should tell us where the country’s finances were going when they served in government since one of them was a prime minister, another, a Vice President and another was a Cabinet minister,” he added.

Ruto said Jubilee's development record was a clear indication that corruption in government was a propaganda from the opposition saying that if they had looted public funds, they would not have achieved the much they have reaslised since getting to power in 2013.

"They had been saying we have eaten money. But let me ask you if we could have eaten money where could we be getting the funds we are using to development this country?" he posed.
