Former Jubilee party deputy chair David Murathe has outrageously claimed that Deputy President William Ruto has seven or eight helicopters lying at at Wilson Airport.
Murathe, who is now fierce critic of Dr. Ruto was questioning his wealth during an interview with Citizen Tv’s Big Question segment with Hussein Mohammed.
Murathe said he has enough evidence which he will use to question Dr. Ruto’s wealth in court in case of anything claiming that Jubilee primaries especially in Mt. Kenya region and Rift Valley were skewed in favour of people in 2017.
Dr. Ruto was in charge of the team which carried nominations for the ruling party in the 2017 elections.
Even though, Murathe says Dr. Ruto is a nice guy but his activities are at the heart of their differences.
“We have always taken the presidency as a pair. He campaigned for himself and not us. Actually he does not have a budget on his own, it is from the presidency,” he said.
He also claimed that Majority leader Aden Duale, who is Dr. Ruto’s close ally was not a party leader stating that his (Duale’s) name does not exist in the political parties registrar’s list of men who run the party.
“It started with jubilee nominations, they started with commotions and we decided to call it off. When we called nominations the second time, they managed to manipulate it,” he claimed.
Throughout the interview Murathe was referring to as “We”, and in one of the questions he said that …“ we discovered that we did not have the same intention with the DP”.
The import of ‘we’ solidifies the rumour that Murathe is not the only one fighting Dr. Ruto in attempt to block him from succeeding Uhuru.
The former lawmaker said a team is preparing to challenge DP’s 2022 candidature, seeking an interpretation on whether a deputy president can succeed his boss at the end of second term.
Murathe however thinks Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria is joker who ought not to be taken seriously.
