Cord co-principal Moses Wetang’ula has said State House officials removed Deputy President William Ruto’s name from a long list of corrupt individuals in a report prepared and forwarded recently to President Uhuru Kenyatta by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
Wetang’ula made the remarks in Kimwanga village in Bungoma County recently during the funeral service of former chief Matayo Khisa.
Wetang’ula slammed the Head of State saying his fight against corruption will amount to nothing if he protects some sacred cows in his Administration.
“The President must show some seriousness in the war against graft otherwise his efforts will not succeed. Uhuru should have started the war on the cancer of corruption by telling his Number Two to step aside.” said Wetang’ula
He said if Kenyatta was serious with eradicating corruption, he should have started by telling his deputy to step aside since he has been adversely mentioned in land-grabbing cases.
“We don’t want any stone to be too heavy to turn in this fight,â€he said.
Wetang’ula told governors whose names appear in the list to stay put pointing out the country’s CEO has no legal and moral authority to direct them to step aside.

Dear Hon Wetangula and CORD principals, tell Uhuru to start the war corruption by asking his Number Two to RESIGN, and not “step aside.†We should encourage Uhuru and the rest of Kenyan to use the right terminlogies in such grave matters of national interest. “Step aside” is a political term. It is not the same as RESIGN. These people MUST RESIGN to help us move Kenya forwards.

Let Ruto resign first then we ask Governors to step aside coz this issue of his name being removed from the list of shame isn’t a secret or is it?

osama says
weta u can go to hell as long as i am concerned…mbna we ni mjinga hivi banaa kwni uwezi fungua macho nkt???!!!
Xaxa says
Weta has comfortably spoken out his mind for a reason, and might be reasonable! No abuses are warranted in 21st Century! In any case, corrupt must be brought into book and face the actual consequences of the laws of the land. But do you also support the idea that fight against graft is “double edged sword”? If its true then the “SWORD” can as well chop off the fingers of the holder. what’s the implication of fighting oppossition using allegations! It beats logics…..
