Thursday, January 19, 2023 –Azimio’s Martha Karua now wants President William Ruto to record a statement with police.
Through a written statement of Wednesday January 18 afternoon, Karua wondered why the head of State was speaking on Chebukati murder scheme after the chairman’s tenure came to an end just this week.
She described such pronouncements as incitements meant to portray the opposition as an organization full of criminals.
“Why did Chebukati not disclose this to the court during the presidential petition or better still report the matter to the police? Six months into the Ruto regime why has no action been taken if these allegations have any iota of truth?
“It is irresponsible for a leader to abuse public office to make unsubstantiated allegations against his competition and against public officers junior to him (Cherera four) to the extent of compromising the ongoing Tribunal against one of them. Is Ruto ready to record a statement,” she stated further.
The former Odinga’s running mate argued that Chebukati ought to have immediately made a report on this and not wait for Ruto to do it six months later.
“My take is that this is carefully designed propaganda by a regime desperate to gain legitimacy by spewing outrageous falsehoods aimed at hoodwinking the public while undermining its competition,” she also noted.
Other leaders who have taken issue with Ruto’s wild claims include, Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina as well as vocal Embakasi East MP Babu Owino.
