As stolen numbers in the Arror and Kimwarer continue to spark heated debates and political rivalry centred at diverting attention from the alleged crime,the Deputy president is insisting he is more privy to the information that the DCI is looking for.
DP William Ruto has hit back at Opposition leader Raila Odinga over the dams’ scandal insisting he knows how much has been spent on them because they fall under the Jubilee manifesto.
Ruto accused the former Prime Minister of politicising the war on corruption saying he is in fact the “ugly face of impunity, [and] a known political fraud whose word means nothing.”
He said Raila is a notorious propagandist and incorrigible liar who can’t even remember the last lie he told.
The DP said the war on corruption will only be won if it’s fought using the correct tools.
He said Raila has neither the legitimacy nor integrity to lecture anyone on matters corruption or integrity.
“Yes, I have an interest in the construction of the dams, a major interest because with [President] Uhuru Kenyatta we put 57 dams to be constructed over the next five years,” Ruto said.
He went on, “As the deputy president of the Republic of Kenya, I would be reckless and would have failed in my job if I didn’t follow the numbers.
