The Deputy president William Ruto and his ally Murkomen have insisted that graft allegations are ghost stories blaming their woes on Raila and team.
Soon after senate minority leader James Orengo’s remarks that Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta for the 2022 succession, Ruto hit back saying, “the “political con” roaming around Kenya was well known, so were his under-the table games.
“There are serial liars whom Kenyans cannot believe in. Our plans on development.”
“We will work tirelessly to show Kenyans who the real enemy of unity is,” Murkomen said.
The legislators, led by Nominated MP Godfrey Osotsi, condemned politicization of war on corruption and the attack on Raila.
The lawmakers said the much publicised handshake between President Kenyatta and Raila had cooled down tension and united the country.
They said the former premier’s decision to work with President Kenyatta was meant to create peace and cohesion in the country and not destabilize Jubilee Party.
Elsewhere, Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi and Siaya Senator James Orengo told Ruto to watch his steps and control his tongue, accusing him of showing disrespect to President Uhuru Kenyatta in his utterances.
Orengo told Ruto that attacking Raila in public was like attacking President Kenyatta himself, since the two leaders were working to unite Kenyans.
“Ruto should keep off Raila. His careless attacks on Raila are an insult. It shows total disrespect both to Raila and the President,” said Orengo.
“Ruto should not talk about Jubilee because he is not the party leader. The party leader is President Kenyatta.”
