Kareithi;

I have worked with impoverished communities and it hurts me when I see people suffer. I have gone hungry myself, I wasn’t raised in a very rich household like you. And so if you think everyone is as rich as you, and you don’t want us to defend people with no other forum to defend themselves, we are doing a disservice to this country.

If people need leadership from us, we have to show mantle for leadership.

I watched the debate and the numerous frivolous Point of orders on Ruto’s defence were detestable. However, when he rose to defend himself, I was left wondering whether he is actually guilty of the maize scandal. Politics and starvation issues aside, Ruto warn the debate fairly, regardless of what we think went wrong with the maize.

What a shame, that ministers wrangle in meetings till it reaches to us. Question, is Ruto trying to pin the disappearance of over 100,000 bags of maize on Martha? Who started the attacks? Some time last week on K24, Ruto was asked by Jeff what was happening, and he did not speak 5 words without mentioning Martha, I believe He’s directing his energies in the wrong direction, I would like to see him take the task of answering questions towards the maize crisis other than making it about personalities. He does not want to go down alone, he wants to take Martha with him. On the other hand, Martha is no Angel, if she goes attacking fellow ministers in public, on issues that they can settle inhouse, then she ought to be reprimanded and take collective responsibility for the coalition. All in all, the two heads do not want to interfere with the two, that speaks volumes, let each take responsibility for their actions, Let us wait for the motion today, see how that goes.
