Wednesday, February 16, 2022 – Deputy President William Ruto has dared President Uhuru Kenyatta to release the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) scandal report if he is a man who loves integrity.
In the scandal that happened in 2020/21, Kenyan taxpayers lost Sh 7.8 billion after several high-profile businessmen and state officials were given tenders to supply air at KEMSA.
According to DP Ruto, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who is vying for the presidency in August, is one of those who looted money at KEMSA.
“This opposition failed. You (Mr. Odinga) came and participated in the looting and corruption.
“You even stole from Kemsa. You have no authority to discuss corruption in government,” Dr. Ruto claimed in a Kenya Kwanza Alliance rally in Kimana, Kajiado South on Tuesday.
The DP alleged Mr. Raila has been shielding and “sanitising” graft suspects at his Capitol Hill offices in Nairobi, but at the same time claiming to be a saint in politics.
“They infiltrated our government and brought in corruption.
“hey came and have now stolen masks. Can you imagine stealing masks? Then now sanitise the corrupt at Upper Hill. How will they fight corruption?” Ruto quipped.
