DP Ruto Accuses ODM of Sanitizing 'Covid-19 Billionaires'

DP Ruto Accuses ODM of Sanitizing 'Covid-19 Billionaires'

Deputy President William Ruto has continued to call out the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) over its stand on the Covid-19 funds scandal at Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa).

Ruto through a series of tweets on Tuesday accused the Raila Odinga-led political party of what he termed as hypocrisy and double standards.

Ruto took issue with ODM’s call for a special audit at Kemsa to establish whether any funds allocated towards the procurement of Covid-19 medical equipment were embezzled.

“The Covid  Billionaire heist at KEMSA is a deplorable manifestation of the worst public vice. The hypocritical “former” Opposition have clearly characteristically changed tune.”

He questioned why ODM wants the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) not to probe the matter until a special audit is completed.

“First, they told us we should ignore what was happening at KEMSA, and that there was nothing wrong with some newly registered suspect companies being awarded tenders worth billions,” said Ruto.

“Then, they told us that the media was sensationalising ‘business’ at KEMSA by ostensibly elevating ‘rumours’ to facts. Now they have told us nothing should happen in KEMSA until something called ‘special’ audit is done.”

“When did they change their position on the role of the media? They have always told us the media is independent and has a role in informing the public and over-sighting the Government. They chastised us when we said criminal investigations should not be carried out in the media. What has changed?”

He reminded ODM that the EACC and DPP are independent institutions and cannot receive directions from any person or office.

“Your double standards are too glaring and obvious to our eyes. What happened to taking political responsibility? What happened to stepping aside? Why is it different now?” he posed.

“The stammering, staggering and flip-flopping is obviously a confirmation of thieves caught red handed stealing from the sick, endangering the lives of the front line workers and robbing the dying. It is clear that you, the owners and operators of the corruption laundromat are working overtime in your effort to ‘sanitise’ the Covid billionaires.”

"The perpetrators of this heist are lucky they do not carry the tag "Ruto allies", otherwise they would have taken political responsibility, stepped aside, written statements, companies investigated, individuals arrested and hauled to court. 
By now they would be arranging bail. But here we are, stuck at some “audit”. ISORAIT.”

Just another example of the Kenya government turning people into criminals.

Although Raila Odinga is a repeat offender.

The Kenyan government is a demonic cult.

Send a thief to catch a thief. I love this. Go on guys. Tell us how you are covered from the top when you steal. Those who stole the Covid billions and let people die, those who steal from hospitals and make people suffer and some die, they are all murderers. That’s blood/death money they are hiding in their bank accounts. At one point, they will regret it big time. Odinga, you took a megaphone to call out Ruto on corruption. What has changed this time? Are you or your campaign donors culprits?

Do not be deceived by DP Ruto on the basis of his talking @kamande! Ruto is a conman who uses the Bible to lie! He only gets saved when he is caught stealing! Ruto is the worst the kalenjin tribe ever produced!

Ruto has presided over the biggest thefts in Kenya! He is now talking to save his damn ugly face! Ruto have killed many (Kenei, Juma, yembei, etc) to hide his corrupt nature!

Ruto deserves to be imprisoned and hanged for all the crimes this fool have committed! Yes, it is very bad for anyone to still covid19 money! But Ruto has done worse things to stand up out there with his big funky teeth to start talking about Covid money!

This dude is more dangerous than Moi himself! He learnt the art of deceit and stealing from his dead father! But ruto has perfect the art of stealing and other corruption activities by lying to those he steal from; the Kenyan people! He is seriously cursed👨 man!

Uhuru Kenyatta is also a #CovidBillionare.

He is the father and uncle of two #CovidBillionare .
He and his family have been stealing from the sick through ministry of health.

They belong in jail.

Ruto should first return the dams money he stole and revive sergeant Kinei, Msando, Juma, yembei, Mwikali, etc from the dead before he start running his dirty mouth over covid19 money!

And seriously Ruto thinks people are stupid as he talks in a phoney way about covid19 money!! Ruto is cursed her on the earth and in Heaven!!

You can talk all you want @Ruto but we are not listening to your lies. How can a big thief like DO Ruto genuinely call out other thieves? How? Stop hood winking us a Ruto! Every body know you a the high priest of corruption and stealing in Kenya! Go to hell!

There is nothing Ruto can say that will help redeem his corruption marred name. The foot print of Ruto’s stealing is just too deep throughout the country!

Anyone who steals using God’s name in vain is a bigger thief than Satan himself! DP Ruto is a perfect example of Lucifer!! The Devil talks in the likeness of Ruto and vis vasa!!

How come Ruto is not addressing the huge theft by his friend Obadi in Migori!? We are sick and tired of double standards by DP Ruto!
