Deputy President William Ruto s inner circle is reportedly concerned of a looming betrayal by a number of his Mt Kenya allies who have been speaking about supporting him but went silent when material support was requested.
The inner-circle saw a red flag after the DP s allies in Parliament were requested to redirect their monthly contributions from Jubilee Party to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
On February 8, Ruto s Rift Valley confidants led by Kapseret MP, Oscar Sudi, wrote to the Clerk of the National Assembly requesting their Jubilee Party contributions slashed from Ksh 10,000 to Ksh 50. They wanted the balance to be channelled to the Kazi ni Kazi Welfare Group under UDA.
THE government has tabled in the National Assembly the Written Laws (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act, 2021 which will among other matters change The Magistrates’ Courts Act to allow shifting of legal materials from English to Kiswahili.
A statement issued, on Thursday, by Comrade Igbotako Nowinta, Executive Director of the group, maintained that the clerk is a man of impeccable character with an unblemished record of service, and wondered why the NGO is accusing him of abetting espionage as well as influencing the award of ICT contract in the National Assembly to a company in which he has an interest.
According to Comrade Nowinta: “One Ijewa Obioma, whose true identity is yet to be established, accused the clerk of ‘hijacking’ the contract from Nanocom International Limited and Navadee Integrated Nigeria Limited.”
Comrade Nowinta described the allegation contained in the petition as spurious and cheap blackmail that has no substance.
