Deputy President William Ruto has lashed out at the Government accusing them of a witch-hunt in the ongoing case involving Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja's degree.
Addressing a political rally in Kisii, Ruto said the State should stop targeting Sakaja politically saying their candidate has the requisite papers required for one to vie for the Nairobi Governor Seat.
"Nataka niambie chama yetu ya zamani ya Jubilee. Wacheni mambo ya Johnson Sakaja. Johnson Sakaja ni Kijana wa mtaa wa Nairobi. Sakaja amesoma na makaratasi yake inajulikana," Ruto said.
He accused the deep state and the ruling Jubilee party of plotting to lock out the Senator from the Nairobi Governor race.
"Wacheni Kukoraga mambo ya Sakaja. Watu wa deep state na system wanapiga simu kila mahali. Wamepiga simu mpaka State House Uganda wakitafuta njama ya kusimamisha sakaja asiwe governor wa Nairobi," he said.
"Mimi nataka niwaambie Jubilee, tukutaneni kwa debe. Wachaneni na Sakaja. Johnson Sakaja ako na certificate ya Kutosha."
He turned the heat on Raila saying:
"Kama kuna mtu ako na certificate ambayo haijulikani ni candidate wenu wa Rais wa Azimio. Kabla hamjatuambia maneno ya Sakaja, tuonyesheni candidate wenu wa kiti cha Urais alisoma wapi na nani, na mwalimu wake alikua na nani. Wacheni utapeli."
