Kitui County Governor the Iron lady and former
Presidential Candidate on Social Democratic
Party (SDP) and now with another party
National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) Charity
Kaliku Ngilu has called for the resignation of
the Kenyan Deputy President over alleged mega
scandal in his Office at Harambee House
Annex.
The Governor was also disturbed by the
happenings going round over abuse of the
public office by alleged conmen conducting
their criminal activities in the office of the
second in command in the Country .
Through a press statement sent to media
outlets globally, the Kitui County Governor
called for the Deputy President Dr. William Ruto
to step aside from the public office and humbly
pave way for investigations to be carried out
until the matter is determined through a Court
of law in the Country.
Ngilu further stressed that In line to chapter six
of the 2010 new Constitution of the Republic of
Kenya on integrity, it is wise for the second in
command after admitting through his tweeter
account in social media that such ugly
incidents took place in his office to pave way
for independent investigations and he should
fully cooperate with the law enforcement units.
Governor Ngilu was equally shocked by the
revelations of the intrigues at the second
highest and protected office in the Country for
intentionally turning a blind eye on the criminal
activities being planned at Harambee House
Annex .
Ngilu termed the vice as shame before the
Kenyan hardworking tax payers and called for
the office of the Deputy President Harambee
House Annex through Dr. William Ruto to first
apologise to Kenyans.
The Governor further stressed that a
businessman at Makindu by the Name Stephen
Ngei lost a fortune after he was duped through
the same office of the Deputy President William
Ruto to supply 2,800 pieces of HP 8 series
Computers worth over 300 million Kenya
shillings.
And up to date the businessman has been
reduced to begging to make ends meet after the
Bank where he took a loan to meet the alleged
tender supply to the Deputy President office
turned out to be a hoax and a con-game.
Chapter six of the new Constitution of Kenya,
leadership and integrity where it stresses on
responsibilities of both elected leaders and
appointed ones.
In article 73 clause 1 (1) a, b and (2) a, b, c, d, e,
where it states in brief that, authority assigned
to a state officer, is a public trust to be
exercised in a manner that is consistent with
the purpose.
And demonstrates respect for the people by
bringing honour to the Nation and dignity to the
office where it promotes public confidence in
the integrity of the office.
Must be ready to serve the people with honour,
rather than power and adhere to the guiding
principle.
Discipline, accountability, honesty, objectivity
and impartiality in decision making and not
being influenced by nepotism, favouritism or
corrupt practises.
The office of the Deputy President Dr. William
Ruto breached chapter six of the Constitution
and the only way to fix the damage is by
stepping aside.
