Kalonzo to Sue Deputy President William Ruto for Defamation

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka intends to sue Deputy President William Ruto over claims that he grabbed land in Yatta, Machakos County.

Musyoka said Ruto injured his reputation when he accused him of illegally acquiring a 200-acre parcel, adding that he will seek heavy damages.

He noted that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) found no evidence to justify any such allegations.

“On January 22nd, 2021, I presented myself to the DCI regarding the acquisition of Yatta farm. This was in response to allegations made about me by the Chief Priest of corruption that I had illegally acquired it. All relevant documentation required to investigate this matter thoroughly was availed to the DCI,” Musyoka said during a media briefing on Wednesday.

“The truth illuminated itself, and the lie has been exposed. The DCI has found zero evidence of wrongdoing on my part. We don’t intend to leave this matter here, because my rights as a Kenyan citizen were violated by this pronouncement.”

Musyoka spoke after presenting himself at the DCI headquarters in the company of his lawyers James Orengo and Mutula Kilonzo Jr.

“My legal team is still exploring other options because, for instance, heavy damages are clearly to be considered including whatever other legal remedies we may want to pursue,” he added.

He should be summoned by parliament to explain this damaging turn of events. He can’t lie and simply stay put! But we have seen a new very serious Uhuru! Something is in the offing in high places and when Uhuru lets out the cat out of the bag, Ruto will be scattered like a mad man in the market place!

Those who “cleared” Kalonzo must be probed. Independent investigations must be done as the said land was and is still owned by NYS/govt.When did NYS/govt sell the land and to who?

Corruption will always fight back. It is public domain that Kalonzo, Moi and his KANU goons grabbed the NYS Yatta land somewhere in the 80s or 90s. Am very sure of this. You know expert thieves know each other, and even used to compete as to who had stolen what, where and when. This was when grabiosis was the norm during professor of KANU thieves, Arap Moi. You know many years have passed under the bridge, and Kalonzo thought that he would get away with it. The reason why these recycled politicians are fighting tooth and nail is so that they can buy time by protecting what they stole several decades ago. But one day, our innocent children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will innocently stumble on the loots and files that were made from Jomo Kenyatta's time. Then generations of Kenyattas, Raila's, Kalonzos, Moi, Biwott, Gideon, Mutavati, Uhuru, Ruto, JJ Kamotho, Kones, Laboso, Kihika, and other big-mouthed politicians will cry foul. One day
