President Uhuru Kenyatta’s succession battle is escalating to worse scenarios with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) summoning four Cabinet Secretaries on allegations that linked them to a secret plot to eliminate the Deputy President William Ruto.
In defense to the Cabinet Secretaries who have so far been summoned, Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu has rubbished the allegations claiming that the alarm is the DP’s plot just to have the Ministers from the Mt. Kenya region fired.
Posting on his Facebook account, the Kieleweke leader argues that the allegations would make it heard for the DP to work with the Cabinet Secretaries a move that will force the President to fire them together with others whom they are planning to forward them to court on graft allegations.

Trade and Industrialization Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya who was first to complain over the alleged plot, accused Ruto of linking him to the plot without proper investigations.
Other leaders include Transport minister James Macharia, ICT boss Joe Mucheru and Health CS Sicily Kariuki .
“We want to confirm we have been having meetings. Indeed, we had a meeting in La Mada and we will continue having meetings because under the Constitution of Kenya, there is freedom of assembly and expression,” Munya.
It is a serious allegation especially coming from the Deputy President who is occupying a powerful office in this land. I think it is irresponsible, unfair and it intended to portray us in a very bad light – CS Munya takes on DP Ruto over assassination allegations pic.twitter.com/Cu4XlnuypT
