Jubilee responds to Ruto’s plans to prosecute Uhuru if they take over power
Jubilee responds to Ruto’s plans to prosecute President Uhuru Kenyatta if they win the August polls.
Jubilee party has protested DP Ruto’s plans to open investigations into president Uhuru’s administration.
In his Kenya Kwanza manifesto launched on 30, June, Ruto hinted at commencing criminal investigations on President Uhuru Kenyatta.
He pledged to form a judicial team to investigate the actions and policies of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration.
The judicial team will make an inquiry into what he called state capture, forced disappearances, and violation of human rights.
Under the ‘Ending State Capture’ sub-topic, Ruto promises to establish, “within 30 days, a quasi-judicial public inquiry to establish the extent of cronyism and state capture in the nation and make recommendations”.

However, the Jubilee party has protested the move calling it “a clear statement of intention to overthrow the current Constitution”.
Jubilee Party secretary-general Jeremiah Kioni warned Ruto against making such proposals that could destabilize the country.
“This is already a clear indication of how dangerous a Ruto government could be for this country. They are on a vindictive agenda. Since they have been talking about witch-hunt that is now a clear case of witch-hunt that has been provided for in the manifesto,” said Mr. Kioni.
Jeremiah Kioni said that even though the proposal is good, it should follow the law and be protected from the same people who may be investigated.
“We want people who have stolen public funds to be dealt with. But we do not want to start creating other institutions that may be targeting specific people.”
