Former Jubilee Party Vice Chairman David Murathe has told the nation how Deputy President William Ruto manipulates government tenders to his advantage.
He was speaking during an interview with KTN's Tony Gachoka that aired on Wednesday night, where he stated his reservations for a Ruto presidency.
He described the DP is a man who could call procurement officers and give them instruction on how to award tenders.
He also revealed that Ruto would be part of the teams that inflate tender costs, adding that he had witnessed that himself.
"I Have witnessed and said it publicly in some other TV shows," Murathe admitted.
"If the DP can behave the way he is behaving today, what will happen if he becomes Air Force One of this country? " the controversial politician posed.
He also revealed that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga rescued President Uhuru Kenyatta from Ruto's allies' blackmail.
“In terms of Parliament, there was some alignment which was making it possible for the DP’s side to blackmail the President. Like if you don’t do this, we won’t pass this. It was like they were holding a gun to his head until Raila came, “ Murathe recounted.
He added that Uhuru’s collaboration with Odinga, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi, and Baringo Senator Gideon Moi gave the president an upper hand over his Ruto’s influence in parliament.
