Raila hits out at Ruto over corruption scandals

The AU Envoy Raila Odinga has hit out at Deputy President William Ruto yet again.

While speaking at the sixth annual devolution conference in Kirinyaga County Raila noted that politicians should stop politicizing the war on graft, a statement that seemed directly pointed to the DP.

“If we are talking about the theft of the dams and figures are there, don’t come and tell us that it was not Sh20 billion it was only Sh7 billion.Let the investigation authority complete the investigations, who are you to tell us? How did you know?” Raila said.

His statement came following Ruto’s claims that the DCI was exaggeratting the money in question saying that there was no money meant to build the dam that was lost.

The Opposition chief reiterated Uhuru’s stance that those with information on corruption should take it to the DCI instead of making noise at funerals.

“If corruption happens in a department, you arrest those who are there. You cannot make it a balancing act and go and include other people to balance it asking ‘why have you arrested a Luo, why have we not seen a Kalenjin? No, the Luo who was there is the one who must be arrested,” Raila said.
