DAILY POST: Blow to RUTO as his friend, KIMANI NGUNJIRI, also dumps him and joins RAILA ODINGA’s camp - Something is seriously wrong with our DP News 04:17
Thursday March 7, 2019 - Deputy President William Ruto has suffered yet another political blow in his bid to stop the looming referendum that seeks to create a powerful Prime Minister and a weak President among other changes. This is after Bahati MP, Kimani Ngunjiri, who has been a close ally of the DP, dumped him as he declared support for Raila Odinga's referendum push. Speaking in an interview on Radio Jambo yesterday, Ngunjiri endorsed the push to revert the nation to the initial Parliamentary governance system. He said the system is the only way that the nation can use to some extent to slay the corruption dragon and bring accountability among Cabinet Secretaries. "I support the push to have ministers appointed from the parliament because that way we can always be able to question them whenever suspicious activities are detected in their dockets," said Ngunjiri. He said that the current Presidential system was frustrating the war against corruption, noting that CSs have portrayed pride during grilling sessions, hiding behind the fact that they are only answerable to the President to dishonour summons. "We want a system where when something is detected we are able to directly hold the minister accountable. The current ones are using the system to avoid answering questions," he added.
