According to DP William Ruto, the fight against corruption must proceed on the basis of correct information and by competent institutions that have the constitutional mandate and institutional capacity so that we can have results.
In this regard , the deputy president has called on the DCI to quit investigation over the ongoing graft charges declaring that he no longer has confidence in the office.
But according to Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, Ruto is a depressed man.
Why?
Babu Owino alleges that in the past, he( Ruto) could order DCI and EACC from Sugoi via phone calls. But now that the war on corruption has taken a new twist, he has to try and arm twist these institutions by heckling in public rallies & funerals.
DP Ruto is a very depressed man. Ruto’s obsession with Raila Odinga is understandable. Those days when he could order DCI and EACC from Sugoi via phone calls are long gone and now he has to try and arm twist these institutions by heckling in public rallies & funerals.— Babu Owino (@Babu_Owino) March 17, 2019
Dr Ruto argued that DCI, which is headed by George Kinoti, lacks backing by law to probe economic crimes, adding that it should hand over investigations to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
He added: “We will refuse and reject any attempt by people to put together a political narrative using corruption and propaganda to drive a scheme to undermine Government programmes and projects, with the aim of destroying the Big Four agenda.”
