Frustrated and isolated from Jubilee Party, Deputy President William Ruto now claims the Uhuru Kenyatta administration is applying double standards in the fight against graft. In a hard-hitting statement, Ruto on Tuesday said had the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency bosses accused of tendering malpractices been his allies, they would have been arrested and charged. Ruto's ally former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu was hounded out of office after being investigated and charged with graft even though Ruto publicly defended him and dismissed the graft allegations. He was responding to a flurry of tweets in which Ruto accused ODM boss Raila Odinga of defending corruption. Ruto asked Raila in yesterday's statement to stop double-speak in the war against corruption.
