Deputy President William Ruto has once again asked police to find and bring to book Sergeant Kipyegon Kenei’s killers.
Mr Ruto, whose office and staff are at the centre of the investigations, wants Kenya’s chief crime buster George Kinoti to stop the “drama” and bring out “the truth”.
“The truth must be found on why, how and who killed Sgt Kenei,” Dr Ruto tweeted on Friday morning.
“The family, ODP (Office of Deputy President) and Kenyans want the truth and justice and culprits held to account. The drama, distortions, convenient half-truths and smear campaigns in sponsored headlines amount to a criminal cover-up.”
Dr Ruto’s comments came hours after Mr Kinoti took to the media to give a blow-by-blow account of Mr Kenei’s last moments at the Harambee House Annex, the Deputy President’s office.
The details revolve around the secret meeting that former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa and his guests in the fake Sh40 billion arms deal held at Mr Ruto’s office.
