MURATHE EXPOSE: UNVEILING THE VEIL OF HYPOCRISY.

MURATHE EXPOSE: UNVEILING THE VEIL OF HYPOCRISY.

The current face of corruption scandal investigation in the Kenya is no other than David Murathe. He is the vice chairperson of the ruling party Jubilee. Mr Murathe is also a close ally to the President Uhuru and Raila Odinga. This time round, he is not the confident man who breathes fire and brimstone as he talks to the masses and journalists usually preaching the gospel of "the handshake." He is not opinionating the probability of who is and who is not likely to be the next Kenyan president next year. No, tables have turned.

He has found himself on the rough and tough side of the law. This is after failing to appear before the parliamentary Committee assessing the KEMSA Scandal.Murathe is allegedly associated with the Kilig Limited that won a tender to supply PPEs to KEMSA.

The Jubilee Vice Chairperson, David Murathe was allegedly awarded a KSH. 4B tender at KEMSA to supply 450000 items. Interestingly, some MPs are the force focusing the radar on Mr. Murathe.

Mr. Murathe is one of the people who are very vocal in associating Dr. Ruto with stealing of public funds. When he talks, his voice is taken as the voice of the "deep state." The same deep state that claims to be fighters of graft and corruption. 

That has been illustrated in the impeachment of Kiambu and Nairobi governors Waititu and Sonko. The scheme also involved scourging by removal of other  politicians associated to the Tanga Tanga faction of Jubilee party allied to William Ruto. Amongst the lashed are former National Assembly majority leader Aden Duale,  Senate Chief whip Irungu Kang'ata and his deputy Cleophas Malala whose replacements are politicians allied to the opposition.

It's not to be forgotten that Amb. Kembi Gitura's corruption investigation in the loss of  multibillion Covid_19 mitigation materials and funds are still uncooked . Amb Gitura is now the new chief in town chairing the Communications Authority of Kenya. A probable partner the covid millionaires cocoon, Mr. Murathe is now under radar.Is this the start of the unveiling of the veil of deep seated hypocrisy in the fight against graft?

Kenyans are now curious in the peculiarity behind Murathe suspected involved in KEMSA corruption in awarding of tenders and also in the pocketing the two billions Uhuru spoke about which is lost daily to corruption cartels. Just the way they were curious about how Dr. Ruto knew that only Ksh 7B were lost in the Kimwarer and Arror dam project corruption scandal.

Well Mr Murathe represents "The Handshake's" interests. We may not know who they shared the loot with.The main aim here was to expose his hypocrisy and taint "The Handshake" and probably keep them busy from fighting Dr. Ruto for a while. Or Mr Murathe might find himself sacrificed if things go berserk. Who knows?

Well Kenyans can only but look on in their curiosity as they await more newsfeed into this.
