Three of the four cabinet secretaries who had on early Monday morning been summoned to DCI, have denied claims that they are plotting to eliminate Deputy President William Ruto. They now insist that the DP must file a formal complaint.
They are CS Peter Munya (Trade), Sicily Kariuki (Health), Joe Mucheru (ICT). They told detectives that it is difficult to respond to verbal allegations which are not formally filed by the complainant.
“We have gone through those allegations with the DCI officers, but first of all there is no written complaint from the Deputy President,” Munya said outside the DCI headquarters.
Munya said, “The officers have confirmed to us that the DP made a call and complained that some CSs and other senior government officials have been meeting at Lamada Hotel, and specifically on 14th May, to plan how to kill him.”
“These are indeed very serious allegations and that is why we want him to write a formal statement to enable us respond,” Munya stated.
He also confirmed that they have been meeting on an agenda to accelerate development in Central Kenya, and vowed to continue meeting.
“We have made it clear that at no time have we ever met anywhere to plan to kill the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya or any other person for that matter. But we want to also confirm that we had a meeting in Lamada and we will continue meeting, because there is freedom of association in this country,” Munya finished.
Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti has so far not commented on the matter.
