There is panic in the Jubilee Alliance after a newspaper associated
with President Uhuru Kenyatta ran a headline story linking his deputy, William
Ruto, to a Sh 28 billion scandal.
The story which was the cover story of
the People Daily suggested that the DP may have masterminded a
questionable deal amounting to Sh28 billion to build a new hospital next to
Eldoret’s Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital.
The story attracted a lot of
reactions with many Kenyan abusing Ruto and his family over the tender.
But even before the day was over,
Health Cabinet Secretary, James Macharia, said that there was no such scandal
in his Ministry.
“The evaluation is ongoing. No costs
have been determined yet. Therefore, the so-called Sh17 billion or Sh28 billion
contracts does not exist,” Macharia said in a statement to the press.

Immediately after Macharia’s
statement, Ruto’s sycophant and Elgeyo Marakwet Senator, Kipchumba Murkomen,
claimed that there was a ploy to draw a wedge between his boss and Mr Kenyatta,
and portray the former as unworthy of his high position in Government.
“This is another of our opponents’
tricks. They want to portray the DP as very corrupt by linking him to every
scam,” Murkomen said.
He concluded by saying
that Ruto’s political detractors want to portray the Deputy President as
corrupt and use his ICC case to convince Mr Kenyatta out of the Jubilee Coalition
deal that will see the President support Mr Ruto in 2022 for the top job.
