Police Fear to Record Omtatah Statement on Ruto

Tuesday, December 19, 2023 -Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has prepared a police statement citing death threats from President William Ruto.

In his statement which the police are fearful to admit, the Senator argues that by challenging the Housing Levy in court, he felt the threat recently made by Ruto was directed at him.

“As he was speaking he started censuring those who challenged the Finance Act ruling particularly on the Housing Levy. He said that he will deal with them with the sword he was given in Kasarani,” said Omtatah.

“He said that sword is not for cutting vegetables but it is for dealing with those crooks opposing his government. I am not a crook and I have never done anything that can label me as a crook.”

Despite meeting frustrations at the police station, Omtatah has vowed that he will make sure his statement is on record and a probe is launched against President Ruto’s suggestive statement.

“I have met a bullish OCPD who thinks he understands the law and has refused to take my statement. I will follow the law and ensure that this statement will be on record.

“Even if I fail to take Ruto to court now, he will not be president forever. It will reach a point where he will leave and we will challenge him. We want that matter investigated,” said Omtatah.
