The Handshake is under siege right now. In a rare political move ANC leader has decided to attack the Handshake with its relevance to the current political success of the country.
But is he fighting a winning battle bearing in mind the handshake is now solid as never?
“There is too much empty talk and explanations on the so-called handshake and yet corruption seems to be on the increase in government. Kenyans no longer want to hear explanations on the handshake, they want handcuffs on those involved in graft,” said Mudavadi.
Mudavadi said explanations on the handshake between Uhuru and ODM leader Raila Odinga was not helping the country.
Mudavadi wants President Uhuru Kenyatta to sack Cabinet Secretaries involved in corruption.
He says it’s time the president walked the talk on corruption and dismissed CSs whose dockets are embroiled in graft, some amounting to billions of shillings.
He said unless Uhuru acts, he risks spoiling his legacy.
“The image of the government is too tainted with graft, he said.
The ANC leader said the handshake was of no use to Kenyans if looting is going on with the President and Raila watching.
“He (Uhuru) can only restore confidence in Kenyans if he sends home those who are looting public resources in the country,” Mudavadi said.
Mudavadi spoke on Saturday at Musembe village in Lugari constituency during the burial of his former personal assistant Henry Maloba.
He was accompanied by area MP Ayub Savula, his Sabatia counterpart Alfred Agoi, nominated senator Naomi Shiyonga and Vihiga county woman representative Beatrice Adagala and politician Kevin Okwara.
The ANC leader also challenged the Kenya and Italian governments to explain the fate of three mega dams in Rift Valley which were to cost sh 90 billion but have been muddled in graft and kickbacks involving cabinet secretaries.
Do you think Mudavadi is making political sense of someone ripe to lead the nation?
