Deputy President William Ruto and his allies have severally been accused of plotting to kick out Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i on basis that he is being used to intimidate the DP.

For the past few days, Matiang’i’s name has dominated the media, even though Majority Leader Aden Duale denied secret plot to nail Matiang’i over fake gold scandal.

Several allies of Ruto went on to call for his resignation. Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa claimed that Matiangí is unfit for the post ;

Vocal MP and former ally to Ruto,  Richard Onyonka on Tuesday claimed that Matiang’i’s work rate has &made afraid’ those planning to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta, adding that the powerful minister could be fronted by the president in 2022 as his successor.

“Matiangi is a performer and he might be chosen by Uhuru as his preferred successor in 2022, that is why they want to fix him now, he alleged,” said Onyonka.

Mr Onyonka is one of the senior most MPs from Gusii, and is serving his third term. He has been elected in three different political parties thus his influence.

He said Dr Matiang’i is not a thief, adding that those involved in thuggery are known. He took a swipe at Deputy President William Ruto, who he accused of being mentioned in most scandals.

“Those who were selling fake gold were doing their own private business. There politicians who were mentioned in Kimwarer and Arror dams scandal and no action has been taken upon them to date,” said the MP.

Onyonka’s heart towards Ruto has changed lately. His cousin, Captain Mario Magonga, who was Ruto’s pilot, crashed in March this year. The family has since disputed the remains.

 Ruto recently identified politicians allegedly behind the fake gold scam where he as well linked Matiangi in the same scandal;
