Opposition leader Raila Odinga has challenged President Uhuru Kenyatta to come out and tell Kenyans his role in the alleged fixing of his deputy, William Ruto, at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Railas challenge that Uhuru explains what his role was in the fixing of his deputy Ruto comes after weeks of criticism at prayer meetings and political rallies organised by the Jubilee coalition, and on the eve of the arrival of an ICC official charged with the investigation of Gatundu South MP Moses Kurias outbursts on the procurement of witnesses.
Railas accusation, released in an email from his Nairobi office, sought to spell out the relationship between the President and Mr Kuria, who sparked the storm with his own admission that he paid witnesses to give evidence on the disputed 2007 presidential election.
Kuria worked for Uhuru Kenyatta from 2008... This is the period when, by Kurias own admission, witnesses were being procured against Mr Ruto, Raila said. He added:
Uhuru and the Jubilee team cannot claim to be ignorant of what was being done by his own employee, Moses Kuria... If not, Uhuru must tell the country.
The former Prime Minister restated that Ruto, at the time, was a prime target of those who stole the elections adding; Facts as narrated above make claims by Jubilee a most preposterous proposal and one of the biggest lies ever peddled in our country.
