Tangatanga team is getting more and more units joining to defend their Army General William Ruto.
Mwala MP Vincent Musau has hit out at critics linking Deputy President William Ruto to various graft scandals.
Musau claimed that the DP’s nemesis are using the corruption allegations to taint his image ahead of 2022 General Elections.
He argued that Ruto’s political competitors want to bring him down since they are afraid of his popularity.
“All these corruption allegations against the DP are aimed at frustrating his 2022 presidential bid,” Musau said.
The legislator addressed the press in his constituency on Monday.
Musau also hit out at investigating agencies probing graft accusing them of fighting corruption in the media.
He accused the agencies of personalizing the war against corruption to target innocent individuals with the aim of frustrating their political ambitions.
“While we support the renewed war against corruption, we urge the agencies involved to do their work independently and stop ‘crucifying’ innocent people in the media” Musau said.
Musau said the war against corruption will not be won through ‘headlines’.
On Sunday during a mass service at St Martin Kithwii Catholic church in Kangundo, Machakos county, Ruto continued his attack on people he said want to scuttle the war against graft.
Ruto claimed that some politicians are politicizing and personalizing the war against graft to stall it.
He also claimed that some political forces want to cause divisions in the ruling Jubilee Party.
