UDA MP regrets voting Ruto
Samuel Moroto, a member of parliament from Kapenguria, apologised for supporting the current administration on Tuesday. He also said that the choice would prevent him from joining the biblical paradise and pleaded with God for forgiveness.Moroto was bemoaning the lack of action from the authorities in suppressing the confrontations that claimed four lives in his area.
The MP claimed that the current administration had fallen far short of its promises, particularly with regard to resolving disputes and the pervasive insecurity in the North Rift districts.”In the lowest section of the region, the government—not any other government—is the one inciting strife. This government is the one in question and am also a member of the UDA. I regret my decision, and I appeal to God for pardon, as it might even cost me a spot in heaven,” the MP bemoaned.
A student who had recently took his Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) was one among those slain, the politician claimed.In addition, the resentful leader leveled accusations at the Kenya Defence Forces personnel stationed nearby.
“They are killing innocent people with the equipment they have been given. Along with other regional officials, the MP declared, “I, the area MP, have tried so much, including with the area elders and the churches,” and went on to denounce the killings. The leaders urged Kithure Kindiki, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination, and Aden Duale, his counterpart in defense, to act quickly to bring calm back to the area in an effort to stop the fighting from getting worse.
“At present, there is a government in place. They utilize drones to drop bombs and destroy objects; they don’t even approach humans. The MP said that the Interior CS had only ever visited once and had never returned. He also said that the current government was not as successful as the late President Daniel Arap Moi in bringing back order to the North Rift. He did, however, commend President Mwai Kibaki’s administration for promoting harmonious cohabitation among the local populations.
Politicians and leaders of the community or religion were cautioned by CS Kindiki on November 2 not to encourage or support banditry in the areas that are unstable. Kindiki issued a warning, saying individuals found guilty would face questioning and scrutiny. Additionally, he gave the locals the assurance that the multi-agency security guards stationed in each of the six North Rift Valley Counties will not be summoned back until the bandits are routed.
