By Justus Ochieng' More by this AuthorPolitician Raila Odinga’s party has told off Deputy President William Ruto following his remarks on allegations of corruption in the procurement of Covid-19 supplies. Through Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna, Mr Odinga’s party said the DP suggested it is okay for the funds to be stolen as long as he is not the one to blame. "Even more unsettling [is that his remarks] express the jealousy of being left out of the gravy train," Mr Sifuna said. Mr Sifuna explained that the media often "goes on a sensationalist extravaganza, with half-baked information obtained from shadowy sources, ending up creating more problems than solutions”. "Suffice it to say that all Kenyans of goodwill have found these allegations disturbing and thoroughly demoralising, at a time when we are losing more lives to the virus," said Mr Sifuna.
