Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has called on the DCI to investigate Francis Atwoli’s remarks on Deputy President William Ruto’s Presidential bid, saying they amount to threatening the DP.
“I thought Atwoli was an elder whom I should not answer but he has proved that his head and big stomach are full of rubbish. He is supposed to be an elder who should not engage in abusing people like Ruto who are the age of his children,” Sudi told a press conference in Eldoret Town.
He said those scheming against the DP within Jubilee should prepare for a titanic battle ahead of 2022.
The second-term Kapseret MP said Atwoli should be investigated over what he claimed to be corruption at the National Social Security Fund where he has been a board member.
“If there is a corruption list in this country then Atwoli’s name cannot be lower than position two. He is so corrupt and benefiting from the sweat and blood of workers in this country,” Sudi said.
He accused Atwoli of being part of the Kieleweke, Stop Ruto team that also includes former Jubilee official David Murathe, a close friend of President Kenyatta.
Sudi said the Kalenjin community had taken Atwoli’s statement seriously and should anything happen to the DP, then Atwoli and his team would have to explain to the community and to Kenyans.
Sudi said Ruto is fighting on many battlefronts but his supporters would ensure he is on the ballot.
“Let those in the other team organise themselves and be ready to face DP Ruto in 2022. We are ready for the contest,” he said.
Sudi said despite minor wrangles, the Jubilee Party remained united and would win in 2022. Sudi said they were also opposed to a referendum on the Constitution because it would be costly and unnecessary when Kenyans are dying of famine.
