Two jubilee legislators; Kapsaret’s Oscar Sudi and Kimilili’s Didmus Barasa said on Sunday the ongoing war against graft by President Uhuru Kenyatta is a strategy by the head of state to ‘finish’ his deputy William Ruto.
The Kapsaret MP cautioned Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) head George Kinoti against being used by certain individuals in the government to fight Mr Ruto in the name of corruption.
Mr Sudi’s Kimilili counterpart also claimed that the ongoing anti-graft war is a witch hunt engineered by leaders who are against Dr Ruto’s bid to contest for the presidency in the next General Election.
The Kimilili MP hit out at Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga, accusing him of using the handshake to hide behind the war on corruption to fight Mr Ruto.
They said the handshake between Mr Kenyatta and Mr Odinga is being used to weak Mr Ruto politically.
Mr Barasa and Mr Sudi dared President Uhuru Kenyatta to take a bold move and dissolve the government.
“If President Kenyatta believes that corruption is rampant in his government then he ought to dissolve government and call for a fresh election so as to weed out leaders perceived to be corrupt,” said Mr Barasa.
“The work that is being done by Kinoti in the name of fighting corruption is not genuine. He is being used as a pawn in the alleged war against corruption. If he is not careful, he will be used and dumped the same waY the former Electoral Commission of Kenya chairman Samuel Kivuitu was treated,” said Mr Sudi.
The Jubilee MPs were speaking during a fundraiser for AIC Kimoson Church in Kapseret Constituency on Sunday.
