A lobby group has hit hard at Deputy President William Ruto and his allies over the fight against corruption.
Kipkorir Ngetich from the Center for Human Rights and Democracy (CHRD) has accused the DP and his camp of fighting President Uhuru Kenyatta in his efforts to fight corruption.
“As Kenyans we must support efforts by the President and the independent institutions because it’s only through such that we will salvage our country from politics,” Ngetich said.
He said those criticising the President over the war on graft were themselves suspects and feared being caught.
Allies of Deputy President William Ruto have accused the President of fighting Ruto using investigating agencies.
“Surely for any sensible Kenyan who values our motherland, it’s immoral to oppose the war on graft. You can only oppose if you know very well that you are involved in looting the coffers of our country,” Ngetich said.
The NGO representatives told off Kalenjin leaders claiming that Uhuru was targeting the community in the war on graft.
“They should carry their own cross and stop dragging the entire community into their own bad behaviour.”
Kibet and Chebiwott asked them to respect the President, who was not elected to serve the interests of a particular community.
