Come for me, don’t intimidate my mother, children, Uhuru dares his successor president Ruto
Retired president Uhuru Kenyatta has today evening dared his successor president William Ruto to go after him directly and stop targeting his family saying he will defend his kinsmen “to the end.”
Speaking at his eldest son Jomo Kenyatta’s residence in Karen after people claiming to be from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) raided the home riding in a Subaru motor vehicle with foreign registration numbers, a visibly furious Uhuru lashed out at Ruto accusing him of waging a needless political war against him.
“The fact that I have been silent doesn’t mean I am scared. Come for me. What does my mother have to do with anything? What does my son have to do with anything?”. The former president posed.
Responding to the question whether he believes the incident had anything to do with the ongoing protests, the former president had this to say.
“Unfortunately I have no other explanation to give because all these things are flowing in a row. I have had people who have been guarding my mother for the last 50 years withdrawn at night, I have now a situation where my son’s home is being raided for things I don’t understand. So I ask myself what does this government want.” Uhuru remarked.
Uhuru further cited recent instances in the country that allude to the State having an agenda against him, including the withdrawal of security officers attached to his mother Mama Ngina Kenyatta, as well as a threat by Trade, Industry and Investment Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria to storm his Ichaweri home and relieve himself there.
“All of these things are flowing in a row. I have a whole minister of government saying that he’s going to do I don’t know what in front of my mother’s house. I have people who have been guarding my mother for the last 50 years withdrawn at night. I have now a situation where my son’s home is being raided for things that I don’t understand,” he stated.
“So I ask myself, what does this government want? Because if it wants me, the fact that I’ve been silent doesn’t mean I’m scared, come for me.” Uhuru remarked.
He added: “What does my mother have to do with anything? What do my children have to with anything? Kama shida yenu ni mimi, I’m here. They know where I am 24/7. Why all this, intimidate a 90-year-old woman and children? If it is me you want, come and tell us
