Deputy President William Ruto’s remarks about the loss of more than sh 21 billion in the construction of Arror and Kamwarer dams continue to elicit sharp reactions.
On Thursday during a State of the Judiciary address, Ruto bashed the media for peddling lies saying that they were peddling lies.
“You’ have heard that the government has lost about Sh21 billion which is a flat lie! The money in question is about Sh7 billion, and for every coin that has been paid, we have a bank guarantee,” he said.
But now Raila has come out and told him off, saying the 7 billion is not little money.
“Sh7b is not pocket change! Sio pesa ya kununua mandazi halafu wanaenda pande hii wanasema ooh sisi ni wakulima.. akitoka pale ooh mimi ni mfugaji.. yeye nikama popo.”
Raila, who is also an AU envoy, said Kenyans should make life difficult for corrupt individuals.
“These people are bold, reckless, contemptuous but we must stand firm and show them that Kenya is more important than anyone. We should tell them that a crime is a crime and a criminal is a criminal,” he said.
