Pokot South MP David Pkosing has castigated dynasties for using corruption to gain political mileage for 2022.
He said the fight against graft is driven by 2022 politics where dynasties are planning and scheming on how to scuttle Deputy President William Ruto’s presidential aspirations.
Pkosing said that Ruto’s competitors are trying to malign his name ahead of 2022 so that they can take over the country’s top job.
The lawmaker who is a close ally of the DP
said the recent meeting of ODM leader Raila Odinga and Kanu Chairman Gideon Moi was the genesis of corruption claims at Kimwarer Dam.

The MP called on the National Intelligence Service to investigate Raila and Gideon on what transpired in their meeting.
“What did they discuss and what were they planning? Why did they publish it?” Pkosing said.
He said the 2022 politics will be a competition between the rich and the poor.

Pkosing said corruption has been politicised and targeting certain communities from the Rift Valley.
“The idea is not about corruption but on 2022 politics,” he said.
