NAIROBI, Kenya Mar 23 – Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi has lashed out at politicians peddling lies in an attempt to win votes ahead of the August 9, 2022, General Election.
In an apparent attack directed at Deputy President William Ruto and his allies, Matiangi decried that “after the Covid-19 pandemic, Kenya is now battling a pandemic of lies,” he stated during a meeting with boda boda leaders drawn from across the country.
While referencing Ruto’s “endless promises of allocating billions of shillings to different sectors” Matiangi cautioned the boda boda leaders not to fall for the lies.
“When they come around, please do not ever accept those lies because they will destroy our country,” he said.
Matiangi regretted that it was unfortunate that Ruto and his allies had resorted to brain washing the sector that the government was fighting them.
