Deputy President William Ruto has been at the forefront of accusing National Super Alliance (NASA) of nepotism.
He has criticized the opposition number two, Kalonzo Musyoka for remaining mum about his son’s appointment to the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA).
However, NASA co-principal Moses Wetangula has asked Ruto to shun partial judgment and address the nepotism ghost in Jubilee.
“We find it disturbing that while the Opposition nominees the Deputy President took issue with were products of procedures, processes and rules of their sponsoring parties, Mr Ruto has seen nothing wrong with and has never found it necessary to condemn the unilateral appointments by Jubilee that has seen relatives, friends, sons and daughters of top leaders employed in influential positions for no reason other than kinship and friendship,” Mr Wetang’ula said in the statement as quoted by Nation.
The DP said the top NASA leaders were shameless and could easily nominate their wives. Raila’s brother Oburu Odinga was another nominee who attracted criticism besides Kennedy Musyoka.
“They are shameless. One proposes the brother, another the son, and nothing would have stopped them from recommending their wives,” Mr Ruto while in Kilgoris, Narok as reported by the paper.
