The Deputy President William Ruto is losing it in the Rift Valley. From the look of things he only have 50% support from the region.

But one of his newly recruited member of Tanga tanga team has betrayed him and joined President Uhuru Kenyatta’s bandwagon.

Former Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto has joined forces with Baringo Senator Gideon Moi and Kanu Secretary General Nick Salat have sent a strong warning to Tangatanga crusaders.

They said members of Parliament from the region allied to the Deputy President should stop insults targeted at President Uhuru Kenyatta over corruption in the country.

Dr Ruto has been engaged in a public altercation with Director of Criminal Investigation George Kinoti over the fight against graft in what is seen as an affront against President Kenyatta’s position on the matter.

The leaders, including Baringo Woman Representative Gladwell Tungo, former Senator Zipporah Kittony, former Members of Parliament — Mr Paul Sang, Mr Anthony Kimetto and Mr Langat Magerer — said leaders and professionals under investigation should refrain from dragging the community into their problems.

Speaking at Chebonei Girls Secondary School in Bomet County during the opening of a tuition block on Saturday, Mr Moi said the support the government had given to hunger-stricken families in the North Rift was welcome, but the food should be bought directly from farmers.

Mr Salat said Kalenjin leaders complaining about alleged graft investigations targeted at professionals from the region should allow investigators to do their work.

“Those involved in graft should be dealt with individually, and they should not hide behind members of our community. If they have stolen, let them carry their own cross. If they are clean then they should simply cooperate with investigators,” Mr Salat said.

Mr Salat said it is sad and shocking that some senior politicians are talking back to the President on the fight against corruption when they should be supporting the fight to ensure taxpayers money is not stolen.

“As Kalenjins, we have been projected as a corrupt community when in reality it is a few individuals who have benefited from proceeds of corruption. The guilty are always afraid and are shouting the loudest about the war on graft,” Ms Tungo observed.
