Sunday August
26, 2018 - Elected leaders
from Jubilee and NASA came to the defence of Deputy President William Ruto as
they dismissed the recent Ipsos poll results which ranked him as the most
corrupt Kenyan leader.
Speaking yesterday,
the MPs accused IPSOS of working for Ruto's political enemies in a smear
campaign aimed at sabotaging his 2022 political ambition.
Led by Cherangany
MP, Joshua Kutuny, leaders termed the survey as politically motivated but
failed to explicitly point out alleged sponsors of the poll.
“Some people are
worried about the development track record of the DP.”
“They have now
resorted to a smear campaign to tarnish his image but my advice to Ruto is he
should ignore them.”
“It is illogical
for somebody to imagine that when your wife gains weight she is pregnant, it
may just be down to good diet and peace of mind,” said Kutuny.
Similar sentiments
were echoed by Kwanza MP, Ferdinand Wanyonyi, and Mike Mbito (Senator Trans
Nzoia) who termed the poll as a total fabrication.
"The poll
results were simply fabricated, malicious and aimed at undermining the
integrity of some leaders," Wanyonyi said.
