Opinion on the arrests of National Treasury officials and a horde of others implicated in the Arror and Kimwarer dams scandal is divided.
On the one hand, a section of leaders, including Suba South MP John Mbadi, have called on Deputy President William Ruto and Senate majority leader Kipchumba Murkomen to resign following indictments over the scandal in which billions of shillings of taxpayers’ funds were lost.
On the other hand, claims of the corruption fight turning into a public relations gimmick were swift.
“DP Ruto and his henchmen, including (Kipchumba) Murkomen, came out to publicly state that there was no impropriety in the matter. The indictment by the Director of Public Prosecution is, by extension, also an indictment of the DP and the senator. They should apologise for misleading Kenyans,” Mr Mbadi, who is the national chairman of the Orange Democratic Movement, said.
Cherengany MP Joshua Kutuny offered to continue reminding Mr Murkomen and the DP to stop defending corruption.
