Ten MPs from Jubilee and ODM have warned Deputy President
William Ruto against undermining the government in the war against
corruption, saying he was free to resign if he felt he was being
unfairly targeted.
The MPs, led by Mr
Maina Kamanda (nominated), Mr Simba Arati (Dagoretti North) and Mr
Joshua Kuttuny (Cherangany), spoke at a church in Nairobi on Sunday
where they declared their support to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s
anti-graft war.
They also cautioned
Dr Ruto against attacking ODM leader Raila Odinga. “If they want to
leave the government, let them do so quietly. Those who have looted
public funds should stop issuing veiled threats that their communities
are being targeted!” Mr Kamanda said.
Mr
Arati told the DP to stop attacking the President using his close
allies. “We cannot accept this country to slide back to where it was,”
Mr Arati said.
MPs present were Ms
Mercy Gakuya (Kasarani), Mr Anthony Oluoch (Mathare), Mr Paul Koinange
(Kiambaa), Mr Maoka Maore (Igembe North), Mr Robert Mbui (Kathiani),
Kiambu woman rep Gathoni Wamuchomba and Mr Ngunjiri Wambugu (Nyeri
Town).
Mr Kuttuny said: “You (DP) will never get to power using threats, intimidation and blackmail.”
