Nyeri Town MP has come out hitting out at DP Ruto;s allies who have been campaigning for him.
While taking to his page, “It is not written anywhere that he (Ruto) must be President.”
In addition he said, The government will not relent in fighting corruption and pursuing cohesion so that Ruto becomes president.
Instead, Ruto’s ambition for State House can be sacrificed, he said.
“Kenya is more important than any single person’s ambition, including his (Ruto’s) ambition).”
Ruto and his allies claim the war on graft is aimed at derailing his 2022 presidential bid.
Wambugu said no community was being targeted in the fight against corruption.
He said of the 115 already charged with corruption, 43 were Kikuyus, 18 Luos, 11 Kalenjins, six Kambas, six Merus and five from the Abagusii community. There are three Taitas and two each from Mijikenda and Aembu.
Borana, Sabaot, Ilchamus, Maasai, Duruma, Somali, Pokomo and Digo have one suspect each, Wambugu said.
He accused Kalenjin political leaders headed by Ruto, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi and Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen of trying to make Kenyans believe the anti-graft war was targeting their community.
He said none of the suspects stole public finds and shared the loot with their community.
Ruto and allies are facing strong criticisms for taking a swipe at the investigating agencies to frustrate the war on graft.
