Raila tells off Ruto in his backyard

ODM party leader Raila Odinga has asked leaders to stop politicizing the war on graft and defending suspects.

He said the suspects linked to the Arror and Kimwarer dams scandal had been charged in courts where they should defend themselves.

"We should let the courts handle the cases and the truth will come out. Those found guilty will pay for their sins", said Odinga.

Raila was speaking on Saturday in Marakwet during the burial of Johnstonne Kadenge who was an ODM official in the area.

He said a thief is a thief and should not be defended by anyone on the basis of his or her tribe.

ODM leader however insisted that the dams money amounting to sh 21 Billion had been stolen by a few individuals thus denying development including water to the people in Kerio Valley.

"The dams were to help provide water to residents but that could not be achieved because the money went to pockets of individuals", said Odinga.

He told off the DP for claiming that only sh 7 Billion had been paid as if such amount of money was nothing.-The Star
