Deputy President William Ruto has accused opposition chief Raila Odinga of defending his allies when it comes to corruption.
The DP said Raila was applying double standards in the fight against corruption by defending those allied to him when it comes to corruption, citing his defense on the graft in Kilifi County .
He asked Raila to first fight corruption in ODM-led counties with the same energy he has used to attack the Jubilee administration.
"Raila is passionate about the fight against graft in the Jubilee administration, while he is condoning corruption in ODM-led counties. If you squander public funds, don't expect the party or your tribe to defend you, a thief is a thief," Ruto said as quoted by the Standard.
The DP made the remarks at Chuka Catholic Church in Tharaka Nithi where he also asked the former prime minister to explain how a company associated with him will clear the debts accrued to Mumias Sugar Company.
"Let him explain to residents of Kakamega the corruption that brought Mumias to its knees, which he knows and he and his colleagues are beneficiaries. When are they going to step forward so that they can account for the losses?" he asked.
