Recent Corruption Scandals a Scheme to Finish DP William Ruto Politically, NASA Strategist David Ndii Says

National Super Alliance (Nasa) chief strategist David Ndii now says that the recent corruption scandals unearthed at NYS, NCPB, Kenya Power and Kenya Pipeline are part of a wider sinister plan to ‘finish’ Deputy President William Ruto politically.

Speaking to KTN News, the economist termed the scandals as well thought-out scheme by a few powerful individuals to scuttle Ruto's 2022 presidential bid.

"This is not about fighting corruption. It is the weaponisation of anti-corruption to fight political wars. The upsurge of these scandals; you have seen NYS, NCPB, Kenya Power, etc; is to serve two purposes - to finish the Deputy President and to sanitize President Kenyatta," Ndii stated.

"If you have to sanitize Uhuru Kenyatta, you have to cast out the demons of corruption over the past four years which he presided over. The convenient place to put them is in William Ruto and his patronage networks," he said during an interview with KTN News.

Ndii, a close confidant of opposition leader Raila Odinga, likened the situation to the story of Jesus in the Bible, where he cast demons from people and put them in pigs which then went over a cliff.

“It’s like in the Bible where Jesus cast out demons from people and put them in pigs and then the pigs went over a cliff. So if you want to sanitize Uhuru Kenyatta, you have to cast out the demon of corruption (that occurred) over the first four years which he presided over and put it somewhere.

“The convenient place to put this is in William Ruto and his patronage network. So what you are seeing is an exercise of self-preservation and I think it is the wrong way to go about it,” he told KTN News.
