The rift in Jubilee continues to unveil more political drama as the team players take sides over corruption war in the country.
Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot has sensationally claimed that President Uhuru Kenyatta is ‘inaccessible’ to South Rift leaders ‘since the handshake’.
The youthful Senator made the claims on Tuesday while making an appearance as a panelist on a political talk show on.
“I can tell you that this handshake is affecting development,” Cheruiyot said on NTV’s AM Live.
“We are unable to meet the President as was the case five years ago. At the moment, South Rift leaders have to write a letter to the President to address issues of delays in funding for development. I can confirm this because I was a signatory to such a letter,” he added.
Cheruiyot’s sentiments were backed by Nandi Governor Stephen Sang and MPs Oscar Sudi (Kapsaret) and Caleb Kositany (Soy) who claimed on Tuesday – without substantiating – that the ongoing war on corruption is aimed at derailing the construction of mega-projects in the Rift Valley.
“We want to remind the President that Rift Valley voted for him overwhelmingly, more than any other region. Why has he sidelined us?” posed Sudi.
Do you agree that the President has side lined the leaders?
