Gusii Members of Parliament allied to Deputy President Dr William Ruto have told Interior CS Dr Fred Matiangi to resign if he is interested in politics.
Speaking at a at a fundraiser at Sironga SDA Church, the MPs said Matiang’i should not go round on a CS flag while trumpeting politics.
“As leaders, we respect him, but he should not go round on a CS flag while trumpeting politics. Let him climb down from his office and join politics,” said South Mugirango MP Silvanus Osoro.
Also present were MPs Joash Nyamoko (North Mugirango), Vincent Kemosi (West Mugirango ), Shadrack Mose (Kitutu Masaba), Oroo Oyioka (Bonchari), Innocent Obiri (Bobasi) and Alfa Miruka (Bomachoge Chache).
Ruto allied MPs have always been at odds with the interior CS, arguing that the powerful CS was indirectly fighting the second in command.
Their differences started when Matiang’i was elevated to the powerful post of chairing the cabinet, which was viewed as a plot to deny Ruto powers.
The MPs also urged the government to hire unemployed graduates as census clerks.
They said they have information that some school principals and doctors have applied for the jobs.
