William Ruto’s political think tank Edward Kisiangani has taken criticized Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu for her continued behavior of attacking the DP on social media.
On Tuesday, December 21, Ngilu fired salvos at the second in command after the deputy president said that it is sad to see some Kenyans dying of starvation in Kilifi where the One million Galana-Kalulu irrigation scheme seats.
This did not settle well with Kitui Governor who hit back at Ruto for being the chair of the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) of doing little to cushion Kenyans from the edge of hunger.
According to Ngilu, it was so shameful for the multi-billion Galana-Kalulu irrigation scheme to lie idle when the deputy president who is also the chairman of IBEC, a forum for consultation and cooperation between the national government and county governments could do nothing to resuscitate the project and tackle the issue of hunger.
“It is a pity that the one-acre Galana-Kalulu irrigation scheme is in Kilifi County and you are the Chair of Intergovernmental Budgetary and Economic Council (IBEC),” Ngilu said in a Tweet.
But political analyst Edward Kisiang’ani and former digital strategist at the Nairobi State House, Dennis Itumbi took on Charity Ngilu saying she has been relentlessly been accusing William Ruto of being responsible for every failed government project.
He ironically challenged Kitui Governor to run for the presidency and bring sanity to Kenya because she thinks she is our political angel.
“Charity Ngilu has been relentlessly attacking DP Ruto. She accuses the DP of being responsible for every bad thing that has ever happened in Kenya. This is not normal! Why, for a change, shouldn’t we encourage mama Ngilu to run for President? She is our political angel!” Kisiang’ani said in a Tweet seen by Kivumbi.co.ke.
On his part, Itumbi challenged Ngilu to highlight what achievements she has done for being part of the IBEC team.
He further accused Ngilu of skipping many of the IBEC meetings telling her that the fact that she is absent does not mean much is not achieved.
“You sat in IBEC, what was your contribution? Nothing! Instead, you skipped many meetings, more than you attended! IBEC has much to report in achievements. I will table the success. The fact you are mainly absent does not mean much is not achieved,” Itumbi said.
