Mudavadi now claims President Kenyatta’s Cabinet meeting was a trap for DP Ruto

Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi now claims that the Thursday Cabinet meeting summoned and chaired by President Uhuru Kenyatta was a political target for Deputy President William Ruto.

Mudavadi argued that the meeting was meant to ensure that the DP, who has long been at loggerheads with his boss, missed attendance so that he could be accused of skipping government functions.

As he hailed the Kenya Kwanza coalition presidential flag bearer’s decision to attend the said meeting, Mudavadi said Ruto’s move was counter-effective to his political rivals whom he said were planning to taint his name in bad light for allegedly not delivering on his duties.

“Ruto ni mwerevu na anajua ata wakiitisha Cabinet baada ya miaka mbili ati wajaribu kusafisha vitu, Ruto atajua vile anazungumza huko ili asihusishwe na matope ya watu wengine,” Mudavadi said on Thursday.

“Huu ulikuwa mtego, walikuwa wanataka waseme tumeitisha Cabinet lakini yeye hakukuja; lakini yeye naye amesema nitakuja, na msimamo wake sisi tuna imani atasimama imara na Wakenya.”

The ANC leader similarly accused the State of trying to dupe Kenyans after the Kenya Kwanza brigade previously raised concerns that no Cabinet meeting had been held in more than a year.

“Ukweli wa mambo ni kwamba wameshtuka baada ya Kenya Kwanza kusema nyinyi mnalaumu wengine na hamjaitisha Cabinet. Ndio wameshtuka na kuitisha Cabinet haraka, kufunga macho ya Wakenya,” Mudavadi claimed.
