Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo now wants Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to tone down his 'diversionary tactics'.

In a statement on Monday, Otiende said the tricks by the Kenya Kwanza administration to get the minds of Kenyans away from what is important will not end well.

He claimed that the William Ruto-led administration cannot meet any campaign promises they made, which is why they are focused on witch-hunts. 

"Stop these diversionary tactics, Gachagua is not Treasury, CBK, controller of budget, auditor general, DCI, AG, or DPP. This regime can’t meet any promise, so they try to focus on witch-hunt! This unprecedented effort won’t end well," Otiende said.

His reaction follows remarks by Gachagua on Sunday where he said that he will soon reveal how leaders in the Uhuru Kenyatta regime looted public coffers.

Gachagua who spoke during a church service in Nairobi said in the coming days he will release a detailed report on CSs and PSs who were involved in the looting of funds.

“In the next few days, I will be releasing details of billions of shillings looted from the public coffers in the last three months of the last administration. I will announce the ministers and the PSs responsible so that Kenyans can know,” Gachagua said.

The DP also alleged that the plan to move to the Supreme Court to challenge the declaration of William Ruto as the President-elect was a plot to get more time to empty the coffers.

According to Gachagua, more than Sh24 billion was looted between the time IEBC announced Ruto as President and the day he was sworn in.

"They knew the case was headed nowhere. It was a set case to ensure looting. When they realised the elections were not going on well, they carried them in sacks, to allow them room for looting when the case was ongoing."
