The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has issued a scathing response to an article published in The Standard newspaper under the headline 'Ruto Double Talk' on Sunday.
In a letter addressed to the KANU Chairman who represents the family of late President Daniel arap Moi on the board of The Standard Media Group, Gideon Moi, UDA, accused the former Senator of a politically motivated smear campaign against the ruling party and President William Ruto. The letter, authored by UDA Secretary General Hassam Omar, dismissed the front page story by The Standard as 'malicious and hateful', suggesting that it was a broader attempt to undermine the Kenya Kwanza administration. "This letter, Gideon, is to acknowledge receipt of one of your habitually malicious and hateful letters to His Excellency the President… through your usual platform, The Sunday Standard or The Sunday Kabarak Chronicles," the letter stated.
