From H.E Raila Odinga
"Our Judiciary is imperfect. It has corrupt elements. But Ruto cannot convince us that the Judiciary is more corrupt than the Executive branch of government, which he leads. Corruption resides in the Executive.
The worst case of Executive corruption of impunity right now is the acquittal of Mr Henry Rotich over the Arror and Kimwarer dams, where a whooping Ksh63 billion was lost.
The Executive went all out to ensure witnesses were never summoned or those summoned were never questioned. The entire plot was to save Mr. Rotich and close the case.
Ruto is not outraged by that. The Executive is where the petroleum, the Sh16. 5 billion edible oils, the Ksh17 billion
fuel scam, the duty-free rice, maize, the KCPE exam printing, and the Ksh3.7 billion insecticide-treated mosquito nets deal, among other scams, were conceived and executed.
Ruto has not expressed anger at these deals because they belong to the Executive."
