Emmanuel Talam and DP Ruto
Deputy President William Ruto’s aid has received a backlash after trying to defend his boss over the ongoing corruption tussles.
Ruto’s Communication Director, Emmanuel Talam on Wednesday purported that the fight against corruption was an orchestration to fight the DP.
Talam took to Twitter, just hours after it emerged that Ruto’s chief of staff Ken Osinde was a director of a company that benefited from the Sh63 billion irregular tended for construction of two dams in Kerio Valley.
However, he was not spared by the agitated netizens who vehemently rebuked his sentiments.
The investigation has already rubbed Rutos allies the wrong way as Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot on Wednesday attacked Kinoti and DPP Noordin Haji, terming them as drama queens.
The Kericho senator called for the two officers to be replaced, claiming they had not achieved anything apart from getting media attention.
“For us to win this war on corruption we need to hire an extra DPP and DCI. Competent ones who can prosecute their cases in courts. The current drama queens can be left to run the war on headlines and S. Media, there they do really well but that’s just about it,” Cheruyoit stated.
