‘My house was also searched when Uhuru was in power,’ Mudavadi says

Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has come out to defend the recent raid on former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s son Jomo’s Karen home, saying that his residence was also searched during the former regime.

“Nataka niambie walio hapa ...even when former president was at the helm...they even came to search for firearms in my house...we are not above the law,” he said.

In remarks which appeared to be in response to the former Head of State's lamenting that his family was being targeted, Mudavadi said that President William Ruto was working to end impunity.

“Don't make it look like it's all about you, the political vampire must end...it’s time for all of us to say no, enough is enough,” he stated.

“Impunity must end and the person to end it is William Ruto, we shall stand with him.”

At the same time, the Prime CS slammed the Opposition over calls to repeal the Finance Act 2023, maintaining that it was meant to increase revenue and revive the economy.

He exuded confidence that the ongoing criticism against the Kenya Kwanza government meant that it is on the right track.

“When you hear the cries it means the country is on the right track…We shouldn't allow this to take root...Uhuru aliacha madeni makubwa sana...sasa unachochea watu waende kortini kufunga resources za serikali,” Mudavadi said.

He added: “Baadaye resources zitatoka wapi? Mshara wa security agencies zitoke wapi? Their time has passed..and we have a responsibility to grow the economy.”

Kenya Kwanza leaders at the event echoed Mudavadi’s remarks faulting Uhuru for crying foul after the raid at his son’s Karen residence on Friday night.
