The Verbal war between the deputy president William Ruto and AU Envoy Raila Odinga has sparkled controversy among leaders from different political circles.
The lastest sparkle is nfromm the Jubilee member of Parliament Kimani Ichungwa who has given his thought following the whole tag of war between the two leaders.
According to the Kikuyu member of parliament the March 9th handshake is not been taken serious.While point fingers at the Opposition Leader Raila Odinga said that he has vested and selfish interests following the handshake and the Building bridges initiative.
He further address the beef between Ruto and Raila claiming that it has taken centre stage particularly on the issue of the referendum where the DP is not for the refendum , the fight against graft and the effects of the handshake.
The legislator who is a close ally of DP Ruto has been defending him in open from the brutal attacks from the ODM Leader and his team who have also been accusing him of corruption.
The vocal MP has been playing the critical role of immediately responding to queries raised by the opposition.
He has been responding to attacks from Raila’s people and has spoken on a number of issues that clearly prove how determined he is in helping the DP battle it out with his opponents.
In addition he has openly differed with Raila pertaining to the direction that the fight against graft is taking. He insists that the war against graft has taken sides and that it could be aimed at distracting the DP’s ambition to occupy the house on the hill in 2022.
The manner in which Ichung’wah defends Ruto against criticism is an indication that he is the William Ruto’s point man in Central Kenya. He has also cautioned the former premier against capitalising on the post-handshake effects to interfere with the government’s development programmes.
The fearless lawmaker has been among Mount Kenya leaders who have been assuring the DP of the region’s full support in 2022.
However despite his support for DP Ruto a few of his central region counterparts believe that the DP is not fit to be the next president simply because his name has severally been mentioned in the recent corruption scandals with recent on been the loss of the Ksh 21 billion money that wasto be used in the construction of the Arror and Kimwarer dam.
