Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has accused President William Ruto of orchestrating an intimidation and harassment campaign against opposition leaders, allegedly in preparation to steal the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking at Tsekuru in Kitui county during the burial of his uncle Mzee Mburu Mairu, Kalonzo claimed that the president had panicked as the opposition coalesced together to unseat him.
While highlighting the recent tribulations of Trans-Nzoia governor George Natembeya and former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua, Kalonzo stated that Ruto had resolved to weaponize the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) with an aim to cow and bully the opposition leaders into submission.
He said this was a well-crafted scheme by the president and his acolytes to lay ground for electoral fraud in 2027. "They have targeted Natembeya because he has taken a certain political standpoint.
