The handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and the former Prime Minister has never been accepted by tangatanga team.
In the brewing bitter exchange of words, The allies aligned to Deputy President William Ruto have decided to break their silence and attack the handshake.
Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of using the handshake and the war on graft to extend his tenure in 2022.
The MP claimed the March 9, 2018, handshake between the President and ODM leader Raila Odinga is specifically intended to fix 2022 politics.
Sudi, who spoke on Sunday at Kipkenyo in Eldoret, said the people of Rift Valley are tired of “a lot of the nonsense being perpetrated through the so-called handshake”.
“I want to tell Raila we accepted the handshake but now we know what it meant. Uhuru should tell us what he is scheming with Raila. If he doesn’t want to go home in 2022 let him tell us,” Sudi said.
He alleged that Uhuru and Raila are using the handshake to block Deputy President William Ruto from ascending to power after the President’s term ends.
“We are tired and you will get what you are looking for soon. Ruto has his own people and they are not foolish. Ruto has been patient enough,” Sudi said.
He said Ruto’s allies are ready to battle with the sons of the rich who want to control the country.
The MP said if the President wants to extend his tenure he should tell Kenyans so that the Constitution is amended to accommodate him and Raila.
Sudi said the President and the ODM boss are using the fight against corruption to harass innocent Kenyans especially those allied to Ruto.
