Jubilee party’s slow but sure death seems to have gained a bit of momentum in the last few days after MPs allied to the Deputy President William Ruto told off President Uhuru Kenyatta accusing him of sidelining the DP and his people.

The leaders said the war on corruption is aimed at derailing the construction of mega projects in the Rift Valley and stifling Dr Ruto’s presidential ambition.

Nandi Governor Stephen Sang and MPs Oscar Sudi (Kapseret) and Caleb Kositany (Soy) — without backing their claims with any evidence — said the anti-corruption fight was no longer objective but had been weaponised to deny some regions major development projects.

“We want to remind the President that Rift Valley voted for him overwhelmingly, more than any other region. Why has he sidelined us?” said Mr Sudi during a burial ceremony in Uasin Gishu.

“We want to categorically tell the President that we don’t want anything for free; we want our rightful share. Our people cannot be poor yet we are in government,” added Mr Sudi.

The Kapseret MP recently had a run-in with the President over claims that the Head of State and Mr Odinga should also be investigated for corruption.

The President told him off last week, saying ranting at “funerals” would not help him. He asked the MP to present those claims at the DCI offices near Karura Forest in Nairobi.

Could it be that after campaigning for him thought the last two general elections, President Uhuru Kenyatta is disposing off his deputy as collateral damage or are William Ruto’s complains baseless and is he playing the victim card? Let us know in the comments.
