Defence CS Wamalwa hits out at Ruto over Tuesday speech
Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa has hit out at Deputy President William Ruto over remarks he made yesterday at the UDA National Delegates Conference (NDC).
Wamalwa accused Ruto of undermining President Uhuru Kenyatta and his projects, terming it ironic.
“You cannot be the principal assistant to the president and resist the same democracy,” the DAP-Kenya founder said.
The CS, seemingly unamused by Ruto’s speech yesterday said he cannot openly defy and defame the president, whilst being in government.

“Ruto’s speech yesterday had very little truth and so many lies in it. The irony is it is the same government he is serving.”
He also claimed the DP’s slogan of being a ‘hustler’s president’ is the language of division.
“You cannot be the President of only one section of the country [the hustler nation] ...you have to serve all Kenyans, both the rich and the poor,” he said.
The DP on Tuesday alluded that President is using state machinery to settle political scores.
He without mentioning Uhuru by name said he had led a government that plunged Kenyans into debt, impoverished farmers, and cracked down on legitimate business.
"Our competitors are the masters of monopolies, agents of conflicts of interest and State capture and we must free this country and our agriculture from brokers and cartels."
