Members of Parliament allied to Deputy President Dr William Ruto have been expressing fear of being arrested. On Tuesday July 23, 2019, Sirisia constituency MP John Waluke had to publicly offer an apology to ODM leader Raila Odinga, Jubilee Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju and the entire Luo community over an ethnic slur he issued last week.
His apology came after Waluke had been summoned to appear before National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) amid calls to have him arrested.
Kiharu MP, Ndindi Nyoro who is also allied to DP Ruto has now divulged that he would be arrested over the management of the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) where he had previously worked as Chairman.
NG-CDF is a body corporate falling under the Ministry of Devolution and Planning. The body ensures that budgetary provisions and offers policy direction to the fund.
Speaking to Daily Nation, Nyoro cited that the order for his arrest had been prompted by his support for the DP and constantly questioning the Interior PS, Karanja Kibicho.
“The idea to arrest me has been hatched after my questioning the interior PS on several issues that were raised by the Auditor-General.
“We won’t take some issues lying down; those thinking they will threaten and silence us will be in for a rude shock,” he told the publication.
Earlier this month, another Ruto allied MP, Kimani Ichungwa, stated that he had also received death threats for supporting DP Ruto.
