The opposition leader’s revelations that he will not jail President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy William Ruto if he ascends to power clearly shows that he is ready to negotiate with corrupt leaders, if his words are anything to go by.
Raila and other leaders from the opposition have been attacking DP Ruto and other politicians terming them land grabbers only for him to come out and claim he will not jail them. Why should he continue criticizing Ruto then?
Kenya will go nowhere if we negotiate with wrong doers. Anyone who breaks the law does not deserve to go unpunished but to the face the wrath of the law.
As much as we are not advocating for the imprisonment of the Uhuru and Ruto, what will he do to them if they are proven guilty of different offenses during his reign.
The former prime minister has served in different capacities and Kenyans can attest that he did not give much especially when he was the Member of Parliament.
In addition, he is surrounded by corrupt leaders on all sides. Dealing with them will not be easy as Kenyans think. If we go back to his home, the former prime minister was put on spot for influencing primaries, claims he denied.
