Carry your own cross-Kuttuny

Cheranganyi MP Joshua Kuttuny says parastatal chiefs from the Kalenjin community linked to graft should carry their own cross.

The MP said the war on graft should not be linked to 2022 politics or claims that it was being used to undermine Deputy President William Ruto.

He dismissed as baseless claims that allies of DP Ruto from the Kalenjin community were being targeted in the war on graft.

He said the NCPB was in problems that had affected farmers yet it was headed mostly by people from Rift Valley.

"The farmers who are suffering are also Kalenjins and yet some of these leaders are not coming out to speak for the farmers yet they are loud in defending individuals," Kuttuny said. He was speaking in Cherangany.

He said individuals from the community implicated in graft should not drag the community into their problems.

"They steal resources from Kenyans and use it on their own. They never invite Kalenjins to get a share of the stolen resources," Kuttuny said.

He said institutions fighting graft had been releasing long lists of suspects including people from all communities and those from Rift Valley should not consider themselves special.
