Sunday, June 9, 2024 –United Democratic Alliance leaders have continued exposing their dirt to the public as it emerges that cracks between the president and his deputy could be widening, by day.
Speaking in Laikipia today in a church service, Attorney General Justin Muturi wondered why Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is not using his powers and those of MPs from UDA to press for the one man-one vote mantra.
He added that even if a region gets all the money as demanded but this monies is misused, then there will be no development still.
“I don’t follow that discourse. What does it matter if you are given all the money and this is misappropriated?” he posed.
Insisting on dealing with corruption first, he asked the deputy president and his allies to champion for these calls through the rightful channels of Parliament instead of making road-side proclamations.
Speaking in the same event in Laikipia, Speaker Moses Wetangula, on his part, asked leaders to stop pulling resources to their side at the expense of the whole nation.
Laikipia East MP Mwangi Kinjuri also said, this debate should be transferred to the Parliament and can only be dealt with using the proper channels.
“We are the people in government. What some people are asking for can as well be done through the Parliament or a Referendum,” Kiunjuri argued.
Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary CS Kipchumba Murkomen advised leaders to stop making tribal statements because the country is running away from such situations that have kept Kenyans divided for long.
Cate Waruguru, who is a confidant of the deputy president, speaking elsewhere, confirmed that Ruto and his deputy were not in good terms and that there is an urgent need for a mediation team of elders to be initiated to save this administration.
“That devil which is making these two leaders not to speak should be chased away from this country,” she said.
Today, President Ruto, his deputy Rigathi Gachagua, who has defended his stance, arrived in Nakuru for 2024 Akorino National Thanksgiving prayers.
They were hosted by area governor Susan Kihika.
