Kieni Member of Parliament Kanini Kega has accused Deputy President William Ruto of registering with two political parties using separate documents.

Speaking to the press in Nyeri on Monday, Kega claimed Ruto used his passport to register as a member of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party after using his National Identity Card to register with Jubilee Party. 

He further questioned why the DP would use separate documentation. 

“We are all aware that Ruto has registered in UDA using his passport and in Jubilee using his ID so that he can reside in both parties. This is the level of dishonesty our leaders have,” Kega said.

Jubilee Party secretary-general Jeremiah Kioni also accused Kiambu Senator Kimani Wamatangi of the same, noting that it was a matter of concern to the ruling party.

According to Kioni, Wamatangi sent the party a letter claiming that he was still a member of the ruling Jubilee party despite announcing that he was vying for the Kiambu Gubernatorial seat on a UDA ticket.

"This is political conmanship and we do not advocate for such. We have a report that Wamatangi used his National ID to register in Jubilee and he registered in UDA with his Kenyan passport," Jeremiah said.

"He might find it hard to even vie for a political seat in this country," he added.

Last week, the party announced that it kicked out Wamatangi, from his Majority Whip after he joined UDA.

In a letter addressed to him by Kioni, the Senator was deemed to have resigned from his position.

The party further kicked him out of the office of the Majority Chief Whip in the Senate.
