Opposition leader Raila Odinga, has accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of manipulating corruption cases touching on people closer to him.
Raila said the government has charged top Devolution Ministry officials with economic-related offences while remaining silent on former Devoluiton Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru’s case, who is the chief suspect in the National Youth Service (NYS) scam.
“The case of the NYS clearly demonstrates the manipulation and the game of favorites Jubilee is playing with corruption while accusing the opposition of doing nothing,” Raila’s statement read in part.
“As the government claims to be finally cracking open the case, the silence on Ms Anne Waiguru, the former CS at the centre of this scam is loud.”
Raila also faulted the government for keeping quiet in cases where allies of Uhuru’s deputy William Ruto have been named.
“Equally loud is the silence on aides and associates of the Deputy President who have been linked to the NYS scam by evidence indicating they received money from the other suspects in the scam,” Raila said.
He further said the Jubilee government ought to realize it is in charge of the country and responsible for fighting all vices hurting that nation, adding that it should stop shifting blames to the opposition.
