Wiper Patriotic Front has come in defence of it’s Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka following recent political attacks from President Ruto.
President Ruto has recently gone for Kalonzo after what is seen as counteracting his president’s ambition.
While Ruto has maintained his bare knuckle attacks on the Wiper boss, the party has now warned the president to desist from affronting Kalonzo and focus on running his administrative role.
In a statement on Friday, the party stated that Ruto’s remarks expose how he is politically cornered and is only attempting to use Kalonzo to divert the attention of Kenyans.
According to Wiper “Ruto knows what every Kenyan knows, his time is up. The people have made their choice and in his desperation, he has unleashed his digital militia and propaganda machine in a futile attempt to destroy what he cannot buy, Kalonzo Musyoka’s integrity and the people’s trust”
The Wiper Party also says that President Ruto’s attacks on Kalonzo is not about development centered but of a desperate and a faillling President who sees his defeat coming and is trying everything to capture opposition strongholds before Kenyans remove him from power in 2027.” The party accused President Ruto of sabotaging the growth of the nation since he took power in 2022, arguing that he has claimed credit for projects executed by past leaders for his political mileage.
Wiper states that Kibwezi- Mutomo- Kitui-Bondoni road was launched by Kalonzo in 2011 while he was serving as Vice President but was later sabotaged by the Jubilee administration in 2013 when Ruto was the Deputy President.
The Party Argued That The sabotage of the infrastructure began in 2013 when some powerful individuals within the Jubilee administration wrote to EXIM Bank of China terming the road “not economically viable” to kill the project. This was deliberate, calculated sabotage”
Wiper claimed that the project was later relaunched on December 2016 and President Ruto has no right to claim credit for the road’s construction.
Wiper states that, “Ruto’s regime is a three-year disaster that shall and will end in 2027. The Wiper Patriotic Front, alongside our partners in the United Opposition, will be the anchor of Kenya’s restoration”
The party maintains that no amount of Political intimidation & attacks will tarnish Kalonzo’s image, saying that his integrity has been proven over decades of public service.
