Narc-Kenya party leader Martha Karua now wants Deputy President William Ruto to resign, accusing him of not believing in the war against corruption that is being spearheaded by President Kenyatta.
Speaking on Wednesday night in an exclusive interview with KTN’s Point Blank, She said it was revealing for Ruto to use MPs allied to him to fight back in the war on corruption.
Karua also wants Cabinet secretaries mentioned in graft cases to relinquish their positions to allow for proper investigations of their alleged involvement.
“We are doing politics without honour; politics without values. If the DP differs with the President, even though the President does not have powers to fire him, he should voluntarily resign,” she said.
Karua, who unsuccessfully ran for the presidency in 2013, said Ruto had planted seeds of doubt by politicising the graft purge.
“Kenyans have been treated to a spectacle… there is President Uhuru talking about sustaining the fight against graft but we have a deputy president, sometimes by himself or through his brigade, opposing the purge.”
Karua said Uhuru should fire the CSs mentioned adversely in graft matters if they are not willing to quit voluntarily, adding that the Head of State has powers to sack them even before they are charged in a court of law.
