DAILY POST: Why RAILA may be forced to apologize to RUTO for calling him a thief in Kirinyaga - His plans to tarnish the DP’s name may have backfired News 06:53
Friday March 8, 2019 - Women MPs affiliated to the ruling Jubilee Party want Opposition Leader, Raila Odinga, to apologise to Deputy President William Ruto for linking him to the multi-billion dams’ scandal. Addressing a Press Conference on Friday, the MPs challenged Raila to table evidence of corruption against Ruto to relevant agencies instead of tainting the latter's name in the public like he did in Kirinyaga on Wednesday. Led by Kandara MP, Alice Wahome, the MPs termed Raila Odinga as a threat to the Building Bridges Initiative which was formed as a result of the handshake between him and President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“It is clear from his speech at the devolution conference that he is an enemy of the Building Bridges Initiative.”

“The double speak of supporting Uhuru and bashing Ruto at the same time is suspect.”

“We should see this matter as it is.”

“It is a 2022 presidential campaign," Wahome stated.

"We will not keep quiet because some people are intimidating us to do so.”

“We will respond to every issue of national importance.”

"Insulting Ruto and tainting his name using unverified allegations proves there is a political scheme to bring him down.”

“That must not be the character of a man who describes himself as a statesman," she added.
