Interior PS Karanja Kibicho has hit back at Deputy President William Ruto after the latter sensationally claimed there a plot was hatched in Nakuru to cause violence and disrupt next week's polls.
In an interview on Citizen TV on Thursday, August 4, Kibicho dismissed the allegations by Ruto adding that the last time he stepped in Nakuru County was two years ago.
"The last time I set foot in Nakuru was two years ago. It is very shameful for a deputy president to even imagine that we were in Nakuru plotting anything. It is shameful for a deputy president to lie infront of cameras on a grave thing like this one," he stated.
The Interior PS stated that Kenya Kwanza was playing reverse psychology and intimidating Government officials.
Kibicho pointed out that they had been meeting chiefs since 2017 as part of the regular security briefs.

"These are masters of reverse psychology, We have been meeting our chiefs since 2017. We meet them in open places for security briefings and at the end of each meeting we always brief the media. It is so shameful what William Ruto is alleging, even if it is seeking sympathy from Kenyans, there are better ways to do it than character assassinate people and try to intimidate government officials," He added.
