A group of MPs in the ruling Jubilee coalition say both President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto were fixed by the same people in their cases at the International Criminal Court.
About
20 lawmakers, calling themselves the Central Kenya Parliamentary
Caucus, claim “scavengers”, who did not want the two leaders elected,
were responsible for fixing them.
“We are asking
anybody, may it be from ODM, may it be from the former PNU (Party of
National Unity), if you have any information on who fixed who, we are
encouraging you to come forward and the truth shall set us free,”
Dagoretti South MP David Waweru told reporters at Lillian Towers in
Nairobi.
“But to the scavengers who are trying to come
in between our coalition, we want to tell them we will be together and
they will not manage to destroy our alliance.
“We have
heard those who say they want to offer help. We want to welcome them,
but they should know that Jubilee is united under the captain Uhuru
Muigai Kenyatta.”
SUITABILITY TO CONTEST
Both
President Kenyatta and Ruto initially faced charges of crimes against
humanity for violence that followed the 2007 elections.
However,
President Kenyatta’s case was dropped for lack of sufficient evidence
to take it to trial, leaving Ruto to fight his case.
The
two leaders were initially on opposing sides during the 2007 elections
but moved into one coalition ahead of the 2013 General Election, when
they were elected.
