So who wanted Wafula Wanyonyi Chebukati dead? President William Ruto says some people wanted the IEBC chair dead….attempted to abduct him but were stopped in their trucks.
The President is on oath to protect the lives of the people of Kenya and therefore cannot make a careless statement.
But neither can he be summoned by security agencies to verify his statement…by virtue of his status as the Commander in Chief of the Armed forces.
Since the President is categorical that Chebukati should have met God on or around the 9th of August, he must be having some hard facts.
President Ruto has since August 10th described Chebukati as Kenya’s biggest hero, in the frame of the Kapenguria 7, Mau Mau and other freedom fighters. He repeated this during his swearing-in and also when he conferred him with the highest state honour below the President….EGH.
so who would have wanted Chebukati dead? As the chair of IEBC, he was presiding over a decisive election pitting Ruto and Raila Odinga.
So the interested person in this is Raila and retired President Uhuru Kenyatta. So is President Ruto accusing Kenyatta of plotting murder, with Raila as an accomplice?
That the plot was thwarted by security forces presumably speaks volumes of the ping pong in the Government on or around election time. Never mind that Ruto himself was allegedly a target of elimination by the Hotel Lamada group. Or so the public was sold.
During the IEBC split at the height of the Bomas vote tallying, and the walkout by Cherera and Co, there was an attempt to derail the announcement of the election results by some Raila sympathisers.
There were reports that the then National Security Advisory Council attempted to interfere with the results announcement.
Is the President suggesting these were hired to kill Chebukati? This is a major reposit by the President. And it will be discussed to the highest echelons of Government.
