Nakuru senator Susan Kihika is back to defend the deputy president on allegation that he protects corrupt individuals in the Country.
Speaking on JKL,Kihika said that the DP was misquoted by the media.
“Dont say that the deputy president defended Waititu on the corruption scandal,”Kihika slapped Jeff Koinange.
Deputy President William Ruto on Sunday jumped to the defense of embattled Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu over the recent audit queries.
This comes after Waititu was on Thursday last week cornered by the Senate to explain how his administration allocated over Ksh.1 billion to functions perceived to be the reprieve of the national government.
Even though the President comes from Kiambu, the national budget is not done in Kiambu. So let people stop asking Waititu useless questions,” said the DP.
“He should only be asked about matters concerning Kiambu County: as for the national government, we have a lot of people including Cabinet Secretaries who will answer those questions. The issue of South Sudan, State House and retired presidents… we will answer them.”Ruto said.
Kihika said that the DP is helping the president to fight corruption across the Country.
“We have the president and deputy, and they are working for the well being of Kenyans and they are committed to fighting corruption,” he said.
