    Ruto Accuses Raila Of Importing Corruption Cartels Into Jubilee Government

    Deputy President William Ruto has hit out at ODM leader Raila Odinga accusing him of derailing government projects.

    The Deputy President claims that the opposition leader used his handshake tricks to infiltrate the government and is currently running a cartel that is busy swindling public resources.

    The Deputy President while attending a church service at the Presbyterian Church in Nairobi’s Umoja 1 estate blasted Raila whom he accused of exporting confusion into government.

    Ruto and Raila have been trading accusations of corruption with the latter declaring in Mombasa where he was attending a function that he will jail all corrupt public officers if he becomes the President.

    Raila slammed the DP over his huge donations saying they were proceeds of corruption.

    In a rejoinder, the DP claimed that the opposition which Raila leads was running a cartel within the government that has led to the loss of taxpayers money.

    According to Ruto, Raila’s handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta has derailed the government’s agenda.

    “It’s only in Kenya where the opposition pretends to run the government, and the opposition runs corruption cartels in government and the same opposition pretends to run lectures on how to fight corruption. Surely what an irony” he posed

    Ruto further claimed the ODM chief was being contemptuous of the poor insisting that the bottom-up economics he propagates is what will bridge the gap between the haves and the have nots.

    “People have a problem with the support given to the church, bodaboda and mama mboga because they have contempt for the weak, the bible tells us to support the weak. These people are contemptuous and it is against the word of God” he added.

    The DP maintains that those harbouring thoughts that the next general election will be postponed are leaving in their dreamland.

  • Handshake: A Political Cheat Game

    Handshake: A Political Cheat Game

    Former Starehe MP Maina Kamanda finally clears the air about Handshake.

    The Jubilee’s nominated MP has said that President Uhuru’s impeachment plans were underway.

    With all the talk now resurfacing of what the handshake did, is doing or not doing lays unanswered questions.

    If The handshake was the only thing that saved President Uhuru Kenyatta, who was planning the impeachment.

    Was that the only thing that the Handshake was all about?

    How exactly did the handshake save Uhuru’s regime?

    So many people, some who had believed in change by revolution in order to reclaim Kenya, were made to look like a confused society.

    The handshake portrayed our political carelessness. Self love political agendas. Political hopelessness. It left many Kenyans puzzled because it is a ‘Political magic.’

    Handshake still looks like a shallow thought-out political cheat game.

    The Government of Kenya is still spending our taxes in running the same loosely thought out political cheat game.

    Handshake was an idea to create a political auction. The masterminds failed in setting up the right time before its launching.

    A rushed idea that is now being dangled  around the people to make it viable.

    There’s still increased corruption. There’s a political calm down because the handshake slowed everything down. The handshake has made political demonstrations uncouth.

    There’s still over borrowing. There’s still political rivalry. There’s still tribe orientation in our current political set up.

    Kenyans are still getting divided by the current political cheat game. Tribal hatred is picking up and government running out of options.

    Handshake or not. We want accountability, transparency and developments from the government.

    We can’t be voting and supporting a government that has invested in killing our economy and auctioning our economy to neocolonialist with public debt.
