County Govt of Kisumu
distance itself from Kondele chaos
The County Government of Kisumu has distanced itself from
the yesterday’s chaos that rocked Kondele area during the public rally by the
Deputy President Dr William Ruto where he was forced to cut short his speech
after unruly youth disrupted the rally.
It says the reports being circulated by a section of Tanga
Tanga politicians are very malicious and misleading indeed
“Our attention has been drawn to false and malicious reports
being circulated by a section of politicians and activists allied to Deputy
President William Ruto, concerning an incident where the DP’s convoy was
allegedly stoned by an unknown people at Kondele in downtown Kisumu,” says part
of the Press statement from the Directorate of Public Communications.
The statement further says that in these malicious rants,
the activists led by former MP Boni Khalwalwe, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, and one
Dennis Itumbi that claim that the chaos was planned and executed by employees of
the Kisumu County Government is untrue.
“This is not only False but utterly ridiculous, careless and
a figment of imagination by these political hirelings, struggling to please
their Paymaster,” the statement adds.
It says the County Government of Kisumu has no business meddling
in political campaigns and did not send any of its employees to cause chaos in
Kondele in Kisumu County.
“We challenge the perpetrators of this false narrative to
prove that the County Government, planned, met its employees, and instructed
them to stone Mr. Ruto. Such proof must be accompanied by real evidence and not
the photoshop caricatures like the one being spread by Itumbi,” it further
says.
The statement further says that it was unfortunate, shameful,
and unbecoming of former Kakamega Senator Bhonny Khalwale to use a National
Television to make sensational allegations he cannot substantiate.
“Even as we call for
political tolerance during these times of campaigns, it is unfortunate that
handlers of the Deputy President came to Kisumu not sell their ideology but to
seek political sympathy. We know and the Police have confirmed, that those who
stoned Dr. Ruto were part of the rented crowd who did not get their share of
the money he dished out in Kondele. Let us all say NO to political intolerance!”
It concludes.
