Defence Cabinet Secretary (CS) Aden Duale now claims that the family of former President Uhuru Kenyatta has sent emissaries to the President William Ruto-led government seeking to be left alone.
“They are the richest family in Africa, and they have sent emissaries that the former President and his family should be left alone,” said Duale during an interview with Spice Fm
Duale however says that the State cannot guarantee that it will leave Uhuru and his family alone.
He added that Ruto’s government might in future conduct audits on Uhuru’s government to determine whether it spent public funds in compliance with appropriations and relevant laws.
“That guarantee should be given to ordinary citizens like you and me. If there is an audit issue for example and it falls within the former administration of Kenyatta, the public and Parliament institutions will discuss,” said Duale.
“His former ministers, if they have issues, the independent institutions can still carry. It happened not only in this presidency but in previous ones such as the NARC administration.”

At the same time, Duale accused Raila Odinga of fueling the anti-government protests since he allegedly only wants to be part of the Kenya Kwanza government, but through the backdoor.
