Monday December 2, 2019 - Senate Majority Leader,
Kipchumba Murkomen, has implicated some top unnamed State officials in an
alleged ongoing plot to frustrate Deputy President William Ruto.
Speaking during an interview on Monday, Murkomen claimed that
the officers, who are close to President Uhuru Kenyatta, have among others,
been sidelining Ruto in his cross-country trips.
According to him, these men have made several phone calls to
keep County Commissioners and their deputies off Ruto's functions, with the
sole intention of humiliating him.
"Severally, County Commissioners and their deputies
have been receiving calls not to attend functions the Deputy President is
attending (Imekuwa mara mingi County Commissioners na Deputies wao
wanapigiwa simu wakati Deputy President anakuja eti pale DP anaenda
wasikuje)," Murkomen stated.
He said that were it not for the intervention of Inspector
General of Police, Hillary Mutyambai, Ruto would be getting complete isolation
during such instances.
Murkomen said that Mutyambai remains one of the few top
police officers who has chosen to do his job fairly, by embracing everyone, as
the unnamed others take sides.
"I thank Inspector General Mutyambai for not
participating in these issues and carrying out his job well (Namshukuru
Inspector General of Police Mutyambai kwa kunyangia haya mambo na kufanya kazi
yake vyema)," he added.
The Senator independently took shots at Interior Cabinet
Secretary, Fred Matiang’i, and PS Karanja Kibicho, accusing them of disrespecting
Ruto during his rant in Kirinyaga County on Friday.
