The Ongoing war of words between a section of Kalenjin leaders and President Uhuru Kenyatta have continued with a number of them calling on President Uhuru to stop hiding behind DCI boss George Kinoti to frustrate DP William Ruto.
The latest to openly castigate the President is Nandi Governor Stephen Arap Sang.
Sang has accused President Kenyatta of ploting with Opposition Chief Raila Odinga to cause political animosity against the Kalenjin Community.
According to Sang, Uhuru’s appointment of his “errand boy” George Kinoti as DCI boss was meant to punish the Kalenjins.
“We will not allow you to use Kinoti and the DPP to fight political battles and we fear you are taking this country to the dogs,” Sang said.
Sang said they were surprised that Uhuru was calling Odinga as his brother yet the ODM leader had committed a treasonable act by swearing himself as the people’s president after the last elections.
The governor said the President should stop bastardising projects in Rift Valley and harassing civil servants from the Kalenjin community.
He said Odinga’s supporters were busy bragging that the country had two presidents in Uhuru and Odinga.
Sang and Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi said the Kalenjin community had supported Uhuru more than any other tribe including in 2002 when Kikuyus did not vote for him.
They were speaking during a funeral at Ziwa in Uasin Gishu.
“If you want another position in 2022 you talk to us. You don’t have to kill all of us in the name of fighting corruption,” Sang said.
