DAILY POST: KALONZO warns RUTO against politicising war on corruption - Let DCI KINOTI do his job without political bickering 04:49 Tuesday March 5, 2019-Former Vice President, Kalonzo Musyoka, has hit at Deputy President William Ruto and his allies for politicising the ongoing war against graft.
Speaking on Monday at the Mumbi Catholic Church in Murang’a town where he attended, alongside 17 senators, the burial ceremony of Senator Irung’u Kang’ata’s mother, Kalonzo who is also Wiper Democratic Movement party leader, urged Ruto and his people to give detectives time to conclude investigations into allegations that taxpayers lost billions of shillings in tenders for construction of Kimwarer and Arror dams. “I would like to advise my brother William [Ruto] to stop saying there is no corruption at all. Allow the independent agencies to conclude investigations because constant tongue-lashing of the DCI [Directorate of Criminal Investigations] and DPP [Director of Public Prosecutions] is ruining the legacy the President wants to leave for the nation,” Kalonzo said. The former VP said if  Dr Ruto’s assertions were true that no money was lost in the Elgeyo-Marakwet County projects, Kenya should liaise with the Italian government to unravel the mystery of how the company went under receivership after winning the tenders. “The government must ask the Italian government to assist it to unravel the mystery on how a company that had just been given Sh536 million upfront and another Sh360 million for commitment just went bankrupt,” he said.
