Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i while addressing residents of Migori County during Azimio la Umoja One Kenya campaign rally on Thursday June, 30 accused Deputy President William Ruto of attacking government officials over personal frustrations.
Moreover, the CS claimed that William Ruto’s dispute with senior security officials’ is as a result of failed business deals with the government.
In Addition, Matiang’i reported that the DP’s recent attacks on Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai are allegedly brought about by the IG’s refusal to purchase police attire from allies of the Kenya Kwanza boss.
“Hii mambo ya Mutyambai kutusiwa hapa bure, kuambiwa he’s the most incompetent general…shida ya Mutyambai, niwaambie ukweli, ni kukataa kununua police boots for Ksh.13,000 ilikuwa inauzwa na marafiki zako, akanunua from local manufacturers for Ksh.2,900,” Matiang’i claimed.
Likewise, Matiang’i rebuked DP Ruto for insulting public servants before foreigners, terming that as a quality not worthy of top leadership.
“If you want to be a national leader to lead our country, how do you attack public servants before foreigners? You take on our IG and abuse him before foreigners who have come into our offices,” he remarked.

Furthermore, the CS’s complaints follow the Deputy President’s comment on Thursday, June 30 during his meeting with a delegation of the International Republican Institute (IRI) and the National Democratic Institute (NDI), where he said the police IG is incompetent.
“The only concern from where we sit is the police. We do not doubt the capacity of the police to handle the situation, we doubt the command. We have the most incompetent IG in the whole world and that’s the problem. In fact, the current IG is the president of Kenya, who is the leader of Azimio,” Ruto stated.
