Is President Kenyatta latest renewed fight on corruption directed towards a set of individuals and community?
Well, a section of politicians allied to DP William Ruto have recently launched a series of attacks directed towards President Uhuru Kenyatta with claims that Uhuru is biased in his fight against corruption taking center-stage.
Led by Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi, the leaders have claimed that President Kenyatta has a hidden agenda and that with Raila Odinga, they plan to jeorpadize William Ruto’s chances of ascending to the Presidency come 2022.
Uhuru on the other hand asked leaders like Oscar Sudi who think that he has stolen anything from Kenyans to go and report him to the DCI.
Sudi would laugh out Uhuru’s suggestions arguing that Uhuru control’s the DCI and as such making a report against him will be like fighting an already lost battle.
He has now popped up again with some letter alleged to give the views of the Kalenjin Community over their dissatisfaction with the manner in which Uhuru has been running his business with regards to the community.
BELOW IS THE LETTER:
Mr.President,
I have heard you repeatedly say the fight against corruption is not against any community or individuals.
I beg to differ Sir.
In fact, your so-called fight against corruption is targeted at individuals and a community. And I will give you examples.
1. You orchestrated the prosecution of Ken Tarus of Kenya Power over a transaction that was signed by Joseph Njoroge, a sitting PS.
None other than the first witness confirmed that you gave instructions that any evidence that would adversely implicate the PS should be expunged. Of course, the PS is immune because he comes from your county.
2. You orchestrated the prosecution of one Joe Sang of Kenya Pipeline over a fuel jetty in Kisumu, whose construction was instructed by Joseph Kinyua to the chair of the Board, Mr John Ngumi.
Joe Sang was implementing instructions of the board chaired by the said Ngumi. John Ngumi cannot be prosecuted because he is your man, not to mention Joseph Kinyua.
3. Advance payments were made for Thwake dam in Makueni (7.2 billion, 2 years ago), Karumenu dam in Kiambu (3.6 billion, 1 and half years ago), Arror dam in Elgeiyo Marakwet (4.2 billion, a year ago), and Kimwarer dam in Elgeiyo Marakwet (3.6 billion, 6 months ago).
In all 4 dams, no work has started, but you have selectively chosen Arror and Kimwarer for profiling with the ultimate objective of ensuring that these dams are not constructed, and of course, you want to prosecute more individuals from that region.
4. The Kenya Forest Service, a public entity has given approval for the construction of dams in all other sites in Kenya, but in Kimwarer and Arror, instructions from above were issued to frustrate the approval, even after KFS had given initial approval to facilitate procurement process. It is very obvious that you are the said “Above”.
My friend, it doesn’t require rocket science for anybody to see that your so-called fight against corruption targeted at individuals and a community, contrary to your assertions.
I respectfully ask you to be man enough and declare war openly on the people you consider your enemies instead hiding behind the facade of corruption theatrics.
What you are engaged in, my dear friend Mr President, Sir, is called IMPUNITY.
Thank you, Sir,
Your long-time friend,
OSCAR SUDI
