Deputy President William Ruto has attacked NASA ‘generals’ including Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama.
According to the DP, the fear of being part of opposition after the August general polls forced Muthama not to defend his senatorial post.
Speaking after President Uhuru Kenyatta’s clearance to have a second shot at the presidency, Ruto laughed off at how some of the opposition principals are seeking minor slots in the next government.Ruto also did not spare Bungoma senator and Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetang’ula. The DP joked at how someone who was in the presidential race can opt for a senatorial slot.
Wetang’ula was cleared by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to defend his seat.
Speaking after the clearance, Wetang’ula said that he has the ability to win without campaigning. He will face competition from other NASA affiliate parties like ODM who have vowed to treat him as an equal, not a principal.Jubilee’s second in command also faulted Bomet Governor Isaac Rutto for defending his seat. DP William Ruto said that the decision by the three strong NASA pillars was a cowardly move aimed at shielding themselves from the shocks of defeat in the presidential contest.
