Deputy President William Ruto says several leaders do not openly work with him for fear of reprisals by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
Speaking to Radio Jambo’s Gidi Ogidi, DP Ruto accused the DCI of a political witch-hunt.
DP Ruto said the directorate’s inclination to prefer corruption charges on leaders who openly support him is politically motivated.
“Everybody knows this; if you visit or are seen as a friend of the deputy president, the next day, you will get a visit from the DCI. Not because you have stolen anything. I, thus, meet with a lot of leaders in secret. Many plainly tell me, ‘let’s meet and plan how we’ll work going forward, politic but we can’t meet openly because you know what will follow’,” said DP Ruto.
