Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr.Fred Matiang’i has challenged those who claim he undertook their Job in government to come out clear and explain the kind of job and roles he took from them.
Dr Matiang’i said with his colleagues in the Cabinet, they have conversations on the ethics of collective responsibility; they have severed restrains in the past four years and have avoided commenting on some claims because they respect certain offices and the collective responsibility given to them.
“Keeping quiet when such reckless claims are made does not mean we have nothing to say ,have taken counsel from the clergy ,private sector and people who care for the future and stability of this country not to go in the wrong direction especially now during the elections,” Said Matiang’i.
He said a time is coming when a county needs to be told the truth about those claims of irresponsible and very wild allegations that are being made by them.
The CS said there is usual hypocrisy and pretence in the political environment pointing fingers on cabinet secretaries.
“In 2017 I was on the campaign trail with all of them here in Kisii, so did I become a CS now in 2022?”Questioned Matiang’i.
He cited that those who are making claims , they never raised issues then because he was at the campaign trail with them, he said the Internet does not forget, he told them to go and look for videos he was with them during the 2017 campaigns.
“now because we are not with them, we are breaking the law. This dishonesty characterizes the behavior of those people ,very dishonest people seeking for public leadership with cheaper and petty sympathies ,there is no law we have broken,” said Matiangi.
The CS said, he is not aware of any effort to interfere with elections, their responsibility in the security sector is to support IEBC to conduct elections and they are ready.
“I agree with my brother Joe Mucheru, maybe there is something people want to do and they want to build a propaganda case or they notice the election is not going their direction, why are they making such wild claims.
He assures public security and election is going to be conducted in peaceful way.
