Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the log in your own eye? Matthew 7:3. William Ruto forgot he was also practicing nepotism when he called out Nasa.
While speaking in Kilgoris, Narok County, deputy president William Ruto called out Raila and Kalonzo for fronting their kin as nominees to the East African Legislative Assembly (Eala).
Raila’s brother Oburu Odinga had initially applied for nomination to Eala but later on withdrew his bid while Wiper fronted Kalonzo Musyoka’s son.
“They have been telling us they do not want tribalism, but they fronted their brothers and sons for the Eala positions,” Ruto said while addressing residents in Kilgoris.
Well, Ruto forgot his daughter holds a senior rank at the Kenyan embassy in Rome Italy – The Sunday Nation established that DP Ruto’s daughter June Chepchirchir holds a senior rank of second counselor at the Kenyan embassy in Rome.
The Sunday Nation says that their source at Foreign Affairs Ministry confirmed to them that the DP’s daughter quickly rose through the ranks – perhaps someone pulled strings.
Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula also pointed out that President Uhuru Kenyatta’s nephew, Jomo Gecaga, serves in State House as the President’s Private Secretary and his niece Ms Nana Gecaga was recently appointed the Managing Director of the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).
While Jubilee and Nasa are playing the politics of kinship, ordinary Kenyan can’t even afford to buy a packet of maize flour, niokotwe Canada mimi.
