Interior Permanent Secretary Karanja Kibicho, on Friday, September 20, sparked a new war with Deputy President William Ruto as reported by K24 TV.
Kibicho warned the DP to keep off the affairs of Kirinyaga County. The PS spoke when he commissioned a borehole in the county constructed at the cost of Ksh2.9 million.
"We want our visitors to uphold our culture when they tour our region," Kibicho declared while accusing Ruto of stirring confusion.
He further indicated that the country had one leader, President Uhuru Kenyatta who had warned politicians to stop politicking before 2022.
"It is shocking that some leaders visit us and want to reap where they did not sow. We as the area residents should reject the confusion being imposed on us."
Kibicho further poked holes into Ekuru Aukot's Punguza Mizigo Bill urging Kirinyaga residents to reject it.
"We should reject this bill and focus on development. We should strategise on waking up and working hard to ensure that there is food on our tables. However, these people come and waste your time when you should be working," he advised.
Kibicho's sentiments came a few weeks after the county MCAs rejected Punguza Mizigo Bill. A move that ignited a confrontation between Ekuru Aukot and Anne Waiguru, with Aukot accusing Waiguru of preaching propaganda.
Kibicho has often been attacked by Ruto's allies who accused him of undermining his boss, the DP. They even implicated him in an alleged assassination plot against the DP.
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has, for instance, alleged that Kibicho was frustrating him and other Tanga Tanga members for their support for Ruto.
Ruto and Waiguru's friendship deteriorated after the governor declared her support to Orange Democratic Leader, Raila Odinga.
