Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has dismissed President William Ruto's recent claims that his administration is being targeted by a specific community, describing the remarks as unbecoming of a Head of State.
President Ruto had claimed that persistent criticism of his government is ethnically motivated, contrasting his treatment with that of his predecessors, Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta, whom he said were not subjected to similar "cruel treatment." Speaking at a press conference in his Nairobi office yesterday, Omtatah said the fury against President Ruto is emanating from the challenges facing Kenyans including economic hardship, corruption, and unemployment-- national issues that require unified solutions, not toxic tribal scapegoating. "He cannot say Uhuru was never challenged.
We challenged him.
I personally challenged him so many times.
